October means more than Fall...
October is National Bullying Prevention Month!

Did you know:
- Nearly one third of students aged 12-18 reported having been bullied at school, some almost daily (National Center for Education Statistics).
- There are four kinds of bullying: physical, verbal, cyberbullying, & covert bullying (rumors, facial gestures, & mimicking) (National Centre Against Bullying).
- Bullying can hurt for years!
Let's put a stop to this!
