Through story telling and engaging activities, Ed encouraged students "to be grateful, be respectful, be responsible and be kind.”

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. During Advisory each Wednesday students have been doing a variety of activities. The 5th graders used our front sidewalk to share their messages of positive words and pictures with Chalk It Up. Sixth grade students did a K.I.N.D.N.E.S.S. Poem contest to be displayed and voted on during Parent Conferences. Seventh and eighth graders watched a video on cyberbullying and then answered questions. Together we are united for Kindness, Acceptance and Inclusion.
