Thursday, Jan 27, at 7pm - free UCLA research-based presentation for parents to improve friendship and bully-prevention skills

A public announcement!  This should be a great parent presentation.  Please RSVP to Lynda Auer at her email address below so she can anticipate a more accurate audience size.  Should dovetail with "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully" very well.  Enjoy!
