  • Stick to Being Kind - During Homeroom Friday, October 14, students will anonymously write a kind note for another student that they have randomly been assigned. This can be something they admire about the person or (if they do not know the student very well) words of encouragement. Notes will be collected by teachers and reviewed by Lower School Counselor Marisa Leard. Then on Monday, October 17, the notes will be placed on a poster board so students can see the kind messages written about them.

  • Social-Emotional Learning lessons focusing on conflict resolution and bullying prevention
Wednesday, October 19
  • Anti-Bully Pledge - Students will have the opportunity to sign an anti-bully pledge (in the morning, during lunch, and at the end of the day). The boys will sign their names on red and blue handprints that will be posted on our anti-bully bulletin board in the Lower School (along with the pledge).
Thursday, October 20
  • Wear your theme T-shirt in honor of bullying prevention and to promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion (wear it on October 13 and 27, as well). Shirts are on sale for $5 in the Dining Hall during lunch while they last.
