Helping Parents Deal with Bullying

"Join us Wednesday, January 27th in the GK High School Media Center from 6:30 -7:00 PM for a parent’s only presentation of Bullying is never Right, grades K-12.  Several resources from the DeKalb County area will be available for those in attendance. The goal is to keep the presentation to 30 minutes for those who need to get back to their families; however, we will certainly stay after for questions, ideas and sharing."  I am looking forward to being a part of this presentation!
