October was National Bully Prevention Month
During our classroom guidance lessons students learned the prevention rules
- We will not bully others.
- We will try to help students who are bullied.
- We will include students who are easily left out.
- When we know somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
(Olweus Bullying prevention Group, 2004
Students also learned ways to be an “UpStander” See this great video from the NED website http://www.thenedshow.com/kidz.html 
November classroom lessons will focus on study skills that help build successful students
We also enjoyed our college awareness week with morning announcement trivia and wearing our favorite college colors or t-shirts to school.
