Students Reaching Out

BV PopsBannerforSandyNookSchool 2.JPGThe POPS team (Peer on Problem Solving) which is Bay View's leadership group of Peer Listeners and Violence Prevention, wanted to give our Bay View Middle School students an opportunity to express their love and concern for the staff and students of Sandy Hook Elementary. The students of Sandy Hook are not returning to their building, but will return to an unused school in a nearby town. The POPS team had a banner made that simply says. YOU ARE LOVED. Bay View Staff and students signed their name on the banner. Staff and students filled out “You Are Loved-O-Gram“during their lunch hours. Our hope is that Sandy Hook would hang the banner in their new school as a welcome reminder of love not loss.
