Our staff focused on honoring the memory of our beloved teacher, Kelly Stachura during our Halloween celebrations. We dressed up in costumes that reflected the things that Kelly loved, such as Care Bears, Christmas, The 80’s, Gardening, The Price is Right, etc. Mrs. Stachura’s mom also participated in the Kindergarten Halloween party, and she sat in Kelly’s rocking chair outside while watching our parade. Yesterday was a great day to honor Kelly Stachura’s memory.

![October is National Bullying Prevention Month 10/16/2024 is Unity Day wear🧡orange🧡 to take a stand against bullying 🧡What is Bullying? ↪Bullying is any aggressive behavior, by a person or people to another person. It is intentionally hurtful and repetitive. ↪Bullying can take many different forms and varies among age groups. Some forms include: Physical - hitting, kicking, biting, intentionally causing pain Emotional -teasing, name calling, exclusion Social - exclusion, social media attacks, limiting positive interactions Verbal - threats, insults, taunting, racial slurs ↪Bullying types can be combined. In younger students verbal or social bullying is most common. ↪In older children physical,emotional, and social problems are more common. ↪ Bullying usually involves an imbalance of power or control. 🧡Parents Corner ↪Check in with your student each night. Try questions like, “How were you kind to someone today?” or “How was someone kind to you?” ↪ Being kind is a great start, but remember words like acceptance and inclusion(belonging), when teaching children about kindness, especially when it comes to others who are “different” in dress, speech, beliefs, and play. ↪ Identify safe adults at school for them to talk to when needed. ↪Identify ways to appropriately stand up for themselves or others. Empower students to walk away from students who are being rude. ↪Identify ways to be a good friend and to identify a good friend. ↪Recite daily positive affirmations about themselves: I am brave. I am capable. I matter. 🧡Resources www.stopbullying.gov https://www.crisistextline.org/ www.pacerkidsagainstbullying.org Books Llama Llama and the Bully Goat by Anna Dewdney Speak Up, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell Its Okay to be Different by Todd Parr Enemy Pie by Derek Munson Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Wonder by R.J.
