October has been named as National Bullying Prevention Month.
Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and monitoring social media accounts. St. Charles has adopted the theme of Kindness this school year. Did you know that kindness is one of the most significant contributors to positive school climate? Being kind makes others happy, makes you feel good, and helps prevent bullying. Kindness is contagious and the benefits increase as the number of kind acts increases. Practicing intentional kindness can help reduce stress when under duress.
