WWMS held an anti-bullying assembly yesterday morning, where students listened and discussed the definition, long-term effects, and how to report and prevent bullying. Our presenters consisted of our Serenity Mental Health Counselor (Rose Marie Adkins), Student Support Facilitator (Lisbeth Sanchez), and School Psychologist (Hannah Carmichael). This was an amazing opportunity to connect with students and share the resources we have available at our school!
