Many school safety experts and educators agree that school bullying and related behaviors (general incivilities, sexual harassment, hazing, hate-bias behaviors) remain the most underrated problems in America’s schools. In a time when the measure of the academic yardstick looms heavily over most school communities, safe, secure and peaceful schools where students can go about the business of learning are a critical step toward effectiveness and success. The consequences of unchecked bullying for the bully, target(s) of bullying and the surrounding school community are well-documented.

This interactive training will journey through the world and phenomenon of school bullying. The session will highlight cyber bullying. An emphasis will be placed on situational prevention.

This workshop will be led by Hilda Quiroz-Graham, Keynote Presenter, Program Developer and Training Specialist for the National School Safety Center. Ms. Quiroz-Graham has written numerous books, articles and training designs about bullying, hate-bias crimes, school safety, team building and cultural issues. Having teaching experience in both public school and community settings, she serves as consultant trainer for schools, communities and law enforcement agencies. Hilda has received special congressional recognition for her work in the community regarding bullying prevention.

TMS Students and Teacher Kiss a Pig!

In a recent fundraiser, students and faculty at TMS raised money for the American Diabetes Association and, as a result, were able to watch some of their own kiss real pig. In the fundraiser, jars were placed on a table near the cafeteria. Each jar had a teacher or student name on it and donations were placed in the jars. The teacher and students with the most money in their jar got a chance to kiss the pig. Altogether, three hundred dollars was raised for the ADA organization. Mrs. Hawthorne, Taryn H. and Faith C. kissed the piglet!
