Nicole's Notes: Volume 25 (March 4, 2013)

We're Pink and We're Proud! :)
Happy Monday TOSH Parents and Guardians! 

It is 11:25 p.m. as I begin this post, so I am happy that I am in under the wire and it is still "Monday"! Sorry for the delay getting this week's update to you. Sometimes, life gets in the way!

Many of you have already seen the media coverage of our incredibly successful "Wear Pink Day" last Wednesday. Our students and staff stepped up in a significant way and I was overcome by the sea of pink in front of me as I addressed the assembly before showing the documentary, "Bully". You could have heard a pin drop for the next 90 minutes and the discussions that took place in the halls and homeroom afterwards were insightful and encouraging. We have a good school climate but we also have lots of people who are committed to making it even better. Here are some links for you to enjoy if you wish:
