October is Bullying Prevention Month

Kindness, acceptance, and inclusion are all important actions to think about. They have the power to make a difference in our school and community. These qualities help others feel respected, valued for who they are, and included in a group. Whether it is holding the door for someone, sharing a warm smile, or a simple thank you, we can help create a world without bullying one action at a time!
