Laurelwood Anti-Bullying Assemby a smashing success

April 26, 2013

This week the P.E.E.R.’s crew put on an anti bullying assembly, and the outcome was spectacular.  We really made a difference in our school in the hearts and minds of the children and teens at Laurelwood.  With the help of Constable Martin and some very moving videos, we were able to change the outlooks of some of the students.  We would also like to congratulate and give a special thanks to Ms. Brooks’ class for performing a riveting presentation called “One”.  You really made an impression on the staff and students at our school.  Thanks for the school spirit Laurelwood.

Remember how important it is to Stand Up Speak Our – exercise your Integrity.
