THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PRINCIPAL/COUNSELOR’S MESSAGE
Please click HERE to read about Bullying Prevention Month.
NATIONAL BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. What is bullying? The KM School Board lets us know that bullying can include name-calling, threats, exclusion, or spreading rumors. Bullying can be physical, spoken words, written words, or sent electronically (KMORR 2301). Bullying is one-sided, and is never just a joke. Bullying is a problem, and we want to put an end to it! This Friday, October 24, we invite everyone to wear pink to join the fight against bullying.
