COPING WITH BULLYING
Most often associated with helping adults improve physical assets, “The Biggest Loser” trainer Brett Hoebel visited Casmir Pulaski School to encourage students to develop their inner strength. The celebrity’s appearance supported the District’s ongoing anti-bullying initiatives and the school’s International Baccalaureate Primary Years fifth grade project, which invites students to research, reflect and act.
“This is such a great program,” explained Pulaski Principal Brian Curtis. “Bullying is such a confidence issue, and being confident about who are you is part of Mr. Hoebel’s message.”

Attention Casimir Pulaski Community:
UPDATE 9/14/12: Our program was funded and the books are on the way. Thank you so much for everyone who supported us along the way.
Our 8th grade students are looking forward to reading the book called THE WAR HORSE. Mrs. Oliveira posted a project proposal on the website called Donorschoose.org. The title of the project is MAKING HISTORY COME ALIVE: THE WAR HORSE. Anyone interested in making a donation to help our students get copies of this great book is greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!
