Bullying affects everyone: the bully, the bullied, and the bystander.

This presentation is part of a series of free workshops in which parents can learn to become an active and effective partner in their children’s education, network with other parents, and learn about community organizations that support children and families.
There will be a free dinner at 5:30 p.m. with breakout sessions at 6 p.m. for adults, youth K-2, 3rd-5th, and 6th-12th grades.
