GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: While
the children enjoyed their first half-day
of the year, the teachers and staff at
Centerville Elementary were busy learn-
ing about the signs of bullying and what
a school can do to be both proactive and
reactive to the problem. The speaker at
the workshop was Mrs. Peg Hennigan
who offers anti-bullying courses on the
Cape during the summer.Although it is
not a big problem at Centerville, this is
not the only place where children may
encounter such behavior. Our teachers
want to make sure they can recognize
the subtle nuances of bullying, not just
the extremely overt behaviors. Plus, they
want to be able to equip the children
with skills to report and/or stand up to
bullying wherever they may encounter it.
This workshop is open to all schools in
Barnstable.
REMINDER: In order to protect the
health and safety of all the children at
Centerville Elementary, our school is
now a nut safe school. Therefore, please
do not send any products to school that
may contain peanut or tree nut ingredi-
ents. Thank you for taking the extra time
to read ingredient labels and provide a
safe environment for the children!
RECOGNITION: The PTO would like to
thank Susan Bourque, RD, for speaking
at the September PTO meeting. Susan
shared many helpful ideas about how to
provide healthy snacks for our children
and she also informed the group about
proper nutrition. The next PTO meeting
will take place on Wednesday, Oct.11 at
6:45 pm - everyone is welcome.
