Anti-Bullying Week

October is Bullying Prevention Month!  My hope is to bring awareness to this subject by starting with our morning announcements

 and each day having a tip of the day in regards to bullying.  I also encourage all teachers to

incorporate bullying prevention into their daily lesson plans.  I have bullying prevention activities, games, and resources that

I hope to use myself or provide for teachers this month and anytime throughout the school year. 

One excellent resource is the website, StopBullying.gov,

 which provides information from various government agencies on how kids, teens, young adults, parents, educators and others in the community

can prevent or stop bullying.

Another way of addressing bullying will be through our school wide assembly put on by TIGER again this school year! 

More details to follow! 

Pennies For Patients

Pennies for Patients will continue to run until February 11^th.  Thanks for all the donations so far!!  Attached to this newsletter is a copy of a paper penny that will be sold for a $1 donation and students will be able to write their name and hang the paper penny on our “penny wall” at school.  So if you choose to do so, just send in $1 with the paper penny filled out with your child’s name and then I will hang it up!
