Cyberbullying
Mrs. Myers conducted a class on cyberbullying
with Dr. Newetts class. Students watched a
video and identified how the young man was
bullied. We discussed how people can be
bullied online and how to be an upstander (not a
bystander). To wrap up a lesson, we watched
fifteen-year-old Trisha Prabhu talk about her
anti-bullying app called ReThink.

ESSA
The State of South Carolina is just beginning
to work through the specifics of ESSA and
this will have a major impact on the SHS
Library. Please use http://ed.sc.gov/
newsroom/every-student-succeeds-act-essa/
to contact the committee and voice your
support of school libraries. Insist that school
librarians be part of the committee (which is
working now). Our programming and
service to you and the students hinges on
what is written in the state document. Thank
you!
