Beyond the School Yard: Preventing and Responding to Traditional and Cyber BullyingNew Hope for Women will be hosting a presentation for Parents to offer information and discussion about how to address this difficult and growing concern for the children in our community. This presentation will compare traditional school yard bullying to cyber bullying. The discussion will include why it happens, who the targets are, where it happens, and the technologies used to carry it out. We will also take a look at what parents and Teachers can do to prevent it and how to effectively respond if it happens. This Free presentation will be offered on Monday evening November 9th from 6-7 at Friendship Village School. Please RSVP by calling 832-5057 or returning the RSVP form sent home with students.

From the Principal’s Desk,

Thank you to all who helped with the Scarecrow competition. The students had a great time. The scarecrows turned out wonderfully and I am sure one of them will win the competition!

Keep the dried food coming for the Friendship Fire Department Food Drive!!

Grades 3, 5 and 6 students shared their writing with each other on Thursday. I heard great things about our writers and their sharing their writing pieces with each other.

Have a great weekend!
