Our eighth graders participated in a service project yesterday, assisting the folks at Harvesters. We are so proud of this tradition of service and the great participation by almost all of our eighth graders on their holiday break. What a tribute to the work and messages of Dr. King!
Bully Prevention Workshops for students and parents will be held January 24 – 26th. Students in first – eighth grades will meet with Tricia Madsen, a community educator specializing in the area of bullying prevention and relational aggression on Tuesday or Wednesday, January 24 or 25th for an hour-long workshop. Tricia has spoken about bullying to more than 80,000 students, parents and teachers, and is passionate about designing innovative strategies and programs that lessen the many obstacles youth face. Tricia is a dynamic speaker who has a wealth of strategies to counter the intentional actions of bullying. She will share with us the nature and prevention of relational aggression, manipulation, bias and cyber bullying. Ms. Madsen’s presentation is fast paced and full of factual information she has gathered through research and while working with students in both public and private schools, including St. Paul’s last year. She is the author of the STEP Up program for middle school girls and speaks nationally on the topic of relational aggression.
