At Spearman we take rude, unkind behavior seriously. This week during morning announcements, Mr. Lesley is sharing a message about bullying behavior and how we want students to feel safe at school. Additionally, this week's classroom guidance lessons have also focused on kindly interacting with others and not being a bully. We want students to feel empowered to bring bullying to an adult's attention!
School mode: activated for our K-4 students this week! We're excited to have you as part of our Spearman Family!
Interested in finding out more information about volunteering? Spearman PTO board members hope to see you tomorrow after drop off in the cafeteria!
