STRONGER TOGETHER: A COMMUNITY DIALOGUE ON BULLYING (WEDS, MARCH 19, 6:30-8:00PM, BHES MEDIA CENTER)

Following last week’s General PTA Meeting presentation on bullying, we invite you to deepen the discussion with our upcoming Community Dialogue on Bullying.

Bullying persists when bystanders stay silent, but together, we can create change. This interactive session will explore how students and parents can become active upstanders. Join us as we work towards fostering a culture of kindness, accountability and support. 

This event is open to parents and students from Kindergarten through High School. High School and Middle School students can earn SSL hours for attending. RSVP here.

•  Location: Bradley Hills Media Center
•  Date & Time: March 19, 6:30 – 8:00 PM
•  Details: Pizza and refreshments will be served at 6:30 PM, followed by the program.

THE PTA IS HERE FOR YOU

The BHES PTA is committed to promoting an enriching and supportive climate where all members of the BHES community feel safe, seen, and respected. The PTA -- primarily through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee -- works to advance this goal through the following means: dissemination of educational resources for parents/guardians; organization and facilitation of Heritage Night as well as other events and small-group community conversations to help parents/guardians explore their family identities and issues of bias; financial support of assemblies and other in-school programming to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging goals; and collaboration with school administration, teachers, and staff on development of materials to supplement teacher lessons on anti-bias and commemorative months. 

The PTA's DEI Committee welcomes input from all members of our community about how we collectively work to prevent and respond to hate-bias incidents within our community. If you are interested in sharing feedback, or joining the DEI Committee, please contact DEI Committee Co-Chairs Britt Hogue and Kathleen Foster at klubey@gmail.com
