This letter from the Salamanca High School principal expresses condolences to the Parkland, Florida community following the school shooting tragedy on February 14th. It summarizes a school assembly held at Salamanca High School on March 14th to open communication between students and staff about preventing school violence and bullying. Students asked challenging questions that highlighted their real concerns. The principal challenged students and staff to compliment at least 14 students and 3 staff members daily, and to support those sitting alone or being bullied by walking up to them with understanding. Students and staff signed a pledge poster to end school violence and bullying, and the posters were enclosed with the letter.
