Go JAGS!!! 2014 Regional Championships Jaguar Track Teams Congratulations to the boys and girls track teams! Under the direction of Head Coach Masterpalo and Assistant Coach “It Starts With You” Tour Anti-Bully Project The Central and West Middle Schools were selected by Disney Club Penguin, in partnership with Free the Children, to participate in a special anti-bullying project, It Starts With You tour. Both schools were invited to have their students participate in a schoolwide multi-media presentation on April 10, 2014. Additionally, 15 student ambassadors were selected from each campus as representatives to participate in a 3 hour interactive workshop and action planning session towards combatting bullying. In addition, the teachers will receive bullying prevention curriculum resources. This is a wonderful opportunity for our middle school students and teachers. This program is a $2000 value being offered to the school through a Club Penguin grant. We are grateful and thrilled to have been selected, as this program is aligned to the school’s existing AntiBullying Initiative, operating via the school’s Connection and Bullying Academy programs; these presentations and student trainings will help to support the school’s program goal to continue to ensure a bully-free school!
