This Winter’s “Adventures of Madagascar” will include: Traditional Malagasy and Hip-Hop Dance, Malagasy Rap, a Comedy and Cultural skit, Drumming, Poetry, & a visual arts exhibition!   Please join is in celebrating our K.I.D.S. talents!

Bullying Stops Here!

Last Friday, students participated in a Bullying Stops Here! workshop to learn about what bullying is and what they can do to help stop it. Students learned what they can do if they are being bullied, how bystanders can help, the reasons why people bully in the first place, and how they can stop bullying in their schools. As part of the workshop, students will be designing bullying prevention posters to hang on their school walls.
