Selby Public School
Week Ahead: November 20th - November 24th
*Bullying Prevention & Awareness Week*
News and Notes
Thank you for all of your hard work on Progress Reports! As always, Parents appreciate your positive, individualized feedback.
This week is Bullying Awareness & Prevention Week in Ontario. Thursday will be Pink Shirt Day. While we focus on these principles in an ongoing way, it never hurts to remind everyone how important it is to be kind and stand-up to bullying. I have emailed some resources to the SELBY Collaboration Group, and don't forget to access our Mentor Text collection for more ideas.
Please see below for a more detailed outline of Friday's PA Day.
Have a great week!
