PTA GENERAL MEETING WITH GUEST DR. REBECCA RESNICK (MARCH 4, 7:30PM, BHES MEDIA CENTER)
Bullying in the 2020s looks very different from the way most of us remember it, but it can be just as harrowing. In this talk, Dr. Rebecca Resnik will discuss where, when and how bullying occurs among today's children and teens, including how to recognize the often subtle signs that a child is being bullied. Now that bullying often happens in coded messages shared over the internet, bullying may be even harder to detect. Dr. Resnik will discuss differences in how boys, girls and gender non-conforming kids are likely to bully and be bullied and how victims respond. Finally, she will share evidence-based interventions for professionals and parents to apply.

SAVE THE DATE FOR THE WHITMAN CLUSTER COMMUNITY OF CARE EVENT (MARCH 19, AT BHES)
Did you know that incidents of bullying go up in the “tweenage” years? Nationally, one of every five students (ages 12-18) is being bullied every year. Come be part of building a nurturing community for all of our students. Join us as we host families from the Whitman Cluster for an interactive session on March 19th at Bradley Hills. RSVP here to be part of our community of care.
WONDERING HOW YOU CAN HELP? PLEASE LEND A HAND TO OUR TITLE 1 SISTER SCHOOL IN THEIR TIME OF NEED
We understand that many families have been affected by recent government changes, both directly and indirectly. The community of our sister school, Weller Road, has been especially impacted. We have reached out and prioritized some critical needs that we at Bradley Hills can support. Given the urgency of these requests, we are asking you to please donate what you can by 28 February.
They have an immediate need for groceries. We have agreed to pass on gift certificates to allow them to purchase the food that they need. Please donate money for groceries by sending $25 (suggested) to Noelie Creaghe (Venmo ID @noelie-creaghe) BHES Community Service Committee Chair.
They urgently need access to immigration lawyers. If you or someone you know is able to donate their time and expertise, please email Noelie Creaghe (noelie.creaghe@gmail.com) BHES Community Service Committee Chair. Feel free to forward and share this email with your network, if you think of immigration lawyers who might be able to help.
If you have any questions, please reach out. We know there is a lot going on right now and deeply appreciate your attention. Any support we can give our Weller Road students will make a big difference.
Separately and just for your information, we are still planning the Annual Book Drive and book fair for Weller Road students in March and April. More on that to come.
