Stomp Out Bullying Day!
Families,
It was a fantastic StompOut Bullying Week at Big Walnut Middle School with a large event today. Our students were able to connect our SOARing characteristics of Scholarship, Ownership, Awareness and Respect to building a positive environment for everyone this week. We want to thank our SOAR and Student Council for organizing such events and activities that align with our goal for each person to put the "I" in Kind.
Have a great long weekend,
Mr. Josh Frame
