Antibullying Events- October 6
A message from Renee Jackwood, Chair of Family Advisory Committee: “We reached 1543 middle schoolers and 64 adults with a message of resiliency. Without a doubt, there was at least one child (and many more) that was pulled back from despair and for that – I count it as a success. Thank you to all of you for the effort and work that you put in to make it happen without a hitch! “
