Week of May 9

Students listened to the third story of our series on bullying. The story showed a better understanding as to why some kids bully others at school. Maybe they were bullied before, are being bullied at home or maybe they are struggling making friends. The story offers advice to bullies on what they can do to change their behavior for the better.
