Truman PR/EL Counselor Corner
December 2021
Greetings!
We need your help to support our Truman Families for the holidays
COULD YOUR LITTLE ONE USE A BIG?
It all starts with the right role models. And Big Brothers Big Sisters is the place to start a relationship with one. For over 100 years, due in large part to private donations, they’ve been able to recruit, screen, match, and support mentoring relationships that have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people across the country.
Please use the link below to sign your little up for the BBBS program. We have been informed that they have lots of volunteers signed up and ready to be matched with a student. This is such a powerful and important program. Please let Mrs. Massey or Ms. Welborn if you need any information or help signing your student up.

Second Step Bullying Prevention Program
Students will learn how to:
• Recognize when bullying is happening
• Report bullying to a caring adult
• Refuse to let bullying happen to themselves or others
• Be a bystander who stands up and is part of the solution to bullying
It is important for students to learn the definition or bullying and to be able to distinguish bullying from rude/bad behavior and conflict. Bullying is when someone keeps being mean to someone else on purpose. The person it’s happening to hasn’t been able to make it stop. It’s unfair and one-sided.
