Gladiator Gratitude
To support Bullying Prevention Month, Mr. Wang is collaborating with author and Northrup parent, Karyn Grasse Chen, to facilitate read-aloud opportunities in primary classrooms of her book Mandy Does Mean Things. Ms. Chen has visited a few of our classrooms already and will continue to do so throughout the month.
Thank you to both Ms. Chen and Mr. Wang for working together to facilitate conversations around kindness and bullying prevention, as students in our primary classrooms learn how to engage with others at school and in their community.
