Want to Prevent Bullying? Start with Kindness
RichardWeissbourd Oct 26, 2015 When we talk about preventing bullying, we often focus on teaching young people how to practice “upstanding” behavior or intervene when peers are being picked on or singled out. Indeed, it’s critical for young people to learn to stand up for themselves and others...We are so proud to have partnered with Milton Elementary School and the Milton Artists' Guild to bring this project to life.

Just a reminder the lost and found is being cleaned out. Please stop in and claim your items today or tomorrow. Here is a couple of pictures.
So many items, LL Bean, Burton, 20+ black snow pants, hats, gloves, jackets, boots, sneakers, clothing, etc! It's all some what neat now and the hanging bar is full!
I looked through for a blueish green jacket from justice but wasn’t able to find it. My daughter lost it on the playground.
“Good thing I bought those black ski pants at Costco,” said no parent ever. 🤦🏻♀️
Box tops will be going digital soon, so to earn money for the school you will have to take pictures of your receipts. With this app it’s the same thing! You take pictures of your receipts for the stuff you already have to buy and earn money for the school! Try it out 🙂
Update... four of us did a trial run of this and in less than a week made $10
Shoparoo is hassle-free school fundraising!

We are so excited to sponsor this project! We hope that each future 5th grade class can add to it! Thank you Jon Young Artworks !
This is amazing! So proud.
Awesome! So excited!
I love this so much! What a great view to greet you as you come in!
Despite some negative comments, I am so proud of the people that our 5th graders chose to represent them. They worked so hard to research influential leaders of their choosing, during their writing block. The school is lucky to have this opportunity and amazing art displayed on the wall. Thank you PTA!
Awesome! So excited!
This makes me so excited! The kids are really excited about making a difference in their own school!
This is amazing! I can't wait to watch it grow!
Cannot wait to see how it comes out!
It's about damn time that school puts some art work on the walls and include the kids!
As the last PTA meeting of the 2018-2019 school year ended with the election of 3 new officers we would like to take this opportunity to thank Mary (4 years as President), Kathleen (3 years as Vice President), and Jenn (2 years as Secretary) for all of their hard work, years of commitment, and dedication to our school community.
Who are the new officers?
What does a person do if they don’t have the capability of scanning...for years I have supported this program.
I clipped one! Hoping scanning receipts will help me remember to do it better...maybe I will just send cash too. Lol
Just a reminder our final meeting of the school year is Monday night at 6PM. We will have elections for President, Vice President and Secretary. We will accept nominations from the floor along with the candidates the Election Committee has submitted. See you soon!
Lots of changes coming down the pipe with Box Tops so create an account at

and download the app to get started!
Not a very good idea...I collect many for our school but do not have capability to scan so looks like my school will suffer and sure I am not the only...
