Is your kid a victim of bullying?

The next meeting of the Principled Minds' anti-bullying group will be held on Saturday, April 2, at the Woodstock (Ill.) Public Library. Starting time is 9:15AM in a downstairs meeting room.

Principals of McHenry County school district schools have been invited. Even though it's the Saturday at the end of Spring Break, either a principal or a staff member designated by the principal could attend, plus parents and other residents who are ready to put an end to bullying.

Talk to the principal of your child's school and make a specific request that the school be represented at this meeting. Try to get a commitment from the principal regarding attendance. Ask who will attend. (And then thank the principal after the meeting for having the school represented.)

The only way to get bullying stopped is for parents, administrators and teachers - and students - to work together. Bullying can come to a screeching halt.

Please consider the courtesy of parking across Judd Street in the new parking lot. Thanks!
