Safe Talk Presentation for grades 1, 3 and 5.
The week of November 14, we've invited Kids in Crisis to come and speak with our students in grades 1, 3, and 5 with their Safe Talk presentation. They will be enacting scenarios of stranger approaching, bullying, and finally appropriate and inappropriate touch by using kid friendly vignettes to demonstrate. As part of their program, they offer a parent workshop, prior to their sessions with students, to allow you the opportunity to see what they will be sharing. This workshop will be on November 10th at 8:30 pm. Please join us in person in the media center or virtually at

to attend this session. I've had the benefit of seeing this program in action for several years and it is a very powerful way to help continue to ensure our children are equipped with the tools to keep them safe in this world.
