Help Prevent Bullying

For the next few weeks, Miss Jenny will be focusing on the topic of bullying during her weekly SPIRIT lessons.  Please have ongoing conversations with your child about what they are learning.  These skills are not only important in 4th grade, but will be helpful throughout their lives. 

Definition of Bullying:

"A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself."   - quoted from Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

This week students have a brief bullying assignment that should be completed with an adult family member.  Please sign and return it to school by Friday.
