DC Students Stomp Out Bullying!

Our students showed strong support for our ongoing fight against bullying on Monday by wearing blue shirts for National Bully Awareness Day.  October is National Bullying Awareness Month.  At DC, we focus on Character and address bullying through our PBIS framework.  We will be recognizing Unity Day (Orange Shirt Day) on October 21st.  

Congratulations to our 4th graders for earning the STRONG CHARACTER travelling trophy for October by having the greatest number of students in blue!!
