October is National Bullying Prevention Month
National Bullying Prevention Month (NBPM) and October 10-13 Bully Prevention Week at Hathaway.This is an important time to have conversations about addressing and preventing bullying.
Bullying is the aggressive use of power, targeting another person or group of people with repeated, unwanted words or action, hurting them emotionally or physically. Bullying impacts the education, health, and safety of children and adults.
“The negative effects of bullying can last a lifetime,” said Julie Hertzog, director of the National Bullying Prevention Center. “Calling out bullying behavior and supporting those who are bullied can make a big difference for those who experience bullying.”
International ShakeOut Day - October 20
Participating in an earthquake drill will help you and your loved ones understand what to do in case you are not with them during an earthquake. Make sure you and your children understand what to do at home and our school's emergency procedures for disasters.
