Halloween may be over, but our stance on bullying never changes - we say BOOO to Bullying!! Our Challand Youth Committee got together to gather their ghosties for the campaign, they say, "Don't be scared to stand up for others" "Be kind to EVERYONE", and make new friends instead of bullying!
As we near Thanksgiving, we are grateful that our Youth Committees BOO that bullying and want to be kind instead.
