October is National Bullying Prevention Month.

Organized by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, this is a month-long event to prevent childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

To participate, we've compiled resources for our families to raise awareness about bullying prevention. 

Resources for Families

• Advice for Parents and Adults About How To Deal With Bullying | The National Crime Prevention Council
• Strategies to Reduce Bullying | The National Crime Prevention Council
• Student Activity Kit | PACER
• Practicing Mindfulness through Kindness and Compassion |NAMI
• How to Prevent Bullying | stopbullying.gov

Let's use this month as a reminder that the kindness, compassion, and empathy we show one another is what makes our community such a special place to be. 

"But kindness, it turns out, is hard. It starts out all rainbows and puppy dogs and expands to include, well, everything."

George Saunders, "Congratulations, By the Way"
