On Saturday December 9th, PTO hosted an Applebee's Fundraiser at the Mansfield Applebee's by the Eastbrook Mall. It was a successful event and it was amazing to have the students as our waitress. We had some 5th graders and some 4th graders taking orders as well as serving the people. They had such a great time and a great experience doing it. Such a fun way to get the School and the Community involved.

As many of you know, October is Bullying Awareness Month. In our after school program, we decided to host mini group discussions throughout a whole week, talking about what is bullying and what can we do to prevent it. We also gave students the opportunity to express their own testimonials about hard times that they have went through, having them connect on a whole other level. We concluded our Anti-Bullying Discussion by making a banner with our hand prints to give a sign saying that we rise up against bullying. The students also signed a card where they took a pledge to not be a bully and to stand up for those we see getting bullied. Attached you will find some pictures. I hope that you enjoy them. Have a blessed weekend,
