LBC is Bully-Free!!!

We are so excited about our Bully-Free program this year.  We had our kick-off on Monday, September 27, 2010.  We had a school assembly with Officer Earl Roberts as our guest speaker.  Friday, October 1st the students are completing a worksheet about bullying during their Language Arts Class.  Also, we will have large posters in each grade-level hallway.  As the kids pledge to be bully-free, they will sign their names on the posters.  We will continue the program throughout the entire school year with many exciting events to come!

Attention Parents:

All forms from doctors or psychologists must be submitted to the guidance office. I will distribute them to your child's teachers, collect them and fax/mail them to the doctor. Please do not give them directly to the teachers.
