Dear 4th Grade Families,
Students and staff at will participate in Unity Day on October 30, as part of National Bullying Prevention Month. Unity Day’s goal is to unite as a school to bring awareness of bullying prevention. It’s a day where everyone can send one large ORANGE message of support, hope, and unity to show that they are united against bullying and unified for kindness, acceptance, inclusion and friendship. In Room 19 we'll also be having a low-key harvest celebration with a movie, math game, and some snacks! Attachments:
