Good evening everyone,

I wanted to make parents of grade 6 students aware that yesterday we had a terrific presentation by the organization "Youthspeak".  They are an organization which promotes anti-bullying initiatives.  The grade 6 students heard the life stories of two individuals who had struggles with bullying in their lives.  They had really good messages for the students.  I would like to encourage parents to discuss with their children what they heard and any things which stood out to them or that they found extra meaningful.  They really were good presentations.

As always, here is the homework.  :)
