Subject: Invitation to Mayor's Office Bullying Prevention Resource Fair THIS SATURDAY!

Dear DCPS Friends,

DCPS is a member of the Mayor's Bullying Prevention Task Force and would like to personally invite you to attend "It Takes a District—Tools and Tips for Families to Prevent Bullying" this Saturday, October 18, at Turkey Thicket Recreational Center from 9:30 AM-2:00PM.

As you will see in the attached flyer and the schedule below, the day will begin with a resource fair, in which families can learn about bullying prevention from our government agencies, non-profit organizations, and schools. Families will also have the opportunity to engage in various workshops, which will give them insight into bullying prevention and recognition strategies. Finally, professionals will be available on-site to meet individually with families to create personalized bullying prevention plans.

Lunch, along with performances, will be provided. Childcare for ages 3-6 will be provided upon request.
