Bullying
Students at Earlham Elementary have been learning about bullying this month. The lessons have focussed on four types of bullying: physical, verbal, indirect/psychological, and cyberbullying. We have discussed how to identify bullying behaviors and ways to respond to a bully as both the victim and the a bystander. Please continue to have conversations at home about this topic. Below are several resources for parents and students to learn more.

Coach Ryan Sloth, author of Sammy Sloth Sport Superstar, visited Earlham earlier this month. Coach Sloth is a former Iowa State and Iowa Barnstormers football player and coach. His passion for sports has inspired his work. He tours the country to talk to kids about working hard and dreaming big.
Toys for Tots
Just before the holiday break, the Cardinal Council students volunteered their time at the Toys for Tots warehouse in Des Moines. They enjoyed giving back and represented Earlham Elementary with pride!
