Wolf Pack Pride continues with the girls Ultimate team, who had a TERRIFIC start to their season on Wednesday against Dorothy Hamm Middle School. Our combined team of 7th and 8th graders won their match handily — 11 to 2. Big props to Asia P. and Loella V. for their incredible play.

Meanwhile, our combined team of 6th and 7th graders earned a hard fought tie — 5 to 5. Big props to 6th grader Maddie K. and 7th grader Risa B. for their combined efforts on offense and defense. And congrats to EVERYONE on both teams for your great teamwork and sportsmanship. Way to go, ultimate wolves!! [clap]

October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. The purpose is to educate our community about this important issue — and to teach effective strategies in response to bullying.
.
Today’s bullying prevention topic is “The End of Bullying Begins with YOU!” Each of us as INDIVIDUALS needs to take PERSONAL responsibility for standing up to bullies. When we all unite in common cause, bullies don’t stand a chance!
.
So let’s put the W-In-Everything!! Let’s take a stand against bullying, treat everyone with respect, and spread kindness.
.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling with bullying, please be an UPSTANDER — not a BYSTANDER. Tell your teacher, a counselor, an administrator, or another trusted adult. Together, we can stand up to bullies!
