October is Bully Prevention Month. Standing up to bullies is EVERYONE’S responsibility — and NOW is the time to take that stand. This week, TA teachers will reading an “anti-bully pledge” in TA. All students who wish to join together in supporting this pledge will receive a “hand” to sign and place on the bully prevention board. If we all join our “hands” together — those bullies won’t “stand” a chance. So take a stand, and sign a hand!
