October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Today's Tip Tuesday is to teach children to recognize the signs of bullying: someone is being hurt by words or actions on purpose, usually more than once, feels bad because of it, & has a hard time stopping what is happening to them.

ROBINSON MIDDLE teacher, Mr. Fuller, always tells his students to "Be the Good." Turns out a 6th grader took those words to heart with this chalk art on the sidewalk outside of the school. We love it! How do you exercise this phrase? #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
