More Love for Mrs. Arnold

This just in!  An email...

Hey Kimberly,

I meant to email you last night and forgot.  Sorry! 

There was an incident in the bathroom yesterday with Noah and a third grader bullying him.  I caught the whole thing and took care of it, but just wanted you to be aware.  The other child asked Noah if he wanted him to beat him up. 

That child's parent was contacted and he wrote an apology letter which is coming home in Noah's folder today.  I'm not sure if Noah would have told me what happened if I had not caught the situation, so he and I talked about that being a case of bullying and he should let an adult know if it ever happened again.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jennifer

To which I very emotionally responded ...

Oh my stars, Jennifer!  I am thanking the Lord that you were within earshot to pounce on that situation!  My head sort of wants to explode to picture that happening - Mommabear claws, you know.  No, Noah didn't say a thing!  Ick.  I hate that he's so mild he doesn't even understand when to speak up for himself ... to someone like that or to a teacher/parent.  We'll surely have a little chat about it at home, too.

Thank you so much.  Seriously, you would turn red with embarrassment at how much I sing your praises when school and teachers come up in conversation.  And it's stuff like this that's why.  Thanks for watching out for my little guy ... in more ways than one!
