Bullying Prevention Month

Our Bullying Prevention Committee meeting was very productive and has some exciting activities planned to maintain our “Bully Free Zone” at ARMS.  Please discuss these activities with your child and ensure that they understand that bullying is not tolerated on our campus. We invite you to participate also by participating in these activities with your child!
