October is Bullying Prevention Month at Whitehead School

The Whitehead school family will be taking time this month to learn about ways to prevent bullying and what to do if you are being bullied by someone. A common message to students is to go to an adult  ( or a few adults) for help, because that is what the adults are here for, to help and support you.

• We will be having a school wide assembly with Miss Teen Nevada.
• Each grade will get to see a live puppet show with The Kids on the Block puppets.
• Every classroom will be doing a lesson on bullying prevention.
• Each student will be creating a T-Shirt design and these t-shirt messages will decorate our hallways.

A Bullying Newsletter, from our school counselor, will be coming home to each family so that families can continue to conversation about how to be your best you, not be a bully, and how to get an adult's help."
