International Dot Day Celebrations
October's SEL Word of the Month: Compassion
October is World Bullying Prevention Month. To kick it off, we are encouraging all staff, students, parents, and community members to wear BLUE on Monday, October 4, 2021, to show support and make a statement against bullying. This is the first of several anti-bullying activities we have planned in our district.
We would love to see our communities' involvement and support. If you would like to share photos of yourselves or your students wearing BLUE on Monday, please email them to communications.specialist@willistonschools.org. *By submitting photos, you are giving authorization to WBSD7 to post those photos to their websites and/or social media feeds.
For more information about #BLUEUP and Stomp Out Bullying, visit stompoutbullying.org.
