Teachers were very caring and always ask how I was and how my family was. 2. I was lucky I never experienced bullying directly and did not feel unsafe as a kid. 3. Students were connected to the school, lots of participation for PTO/school events.
4. My school was culturally diverse and our principal would greet all of us at the foot of the stairs by name. We always had awards ceremonies to celebrate hard work. We had "International Days" festivals where cultures in our school were explored and celebrated. ]]> 2017-12-14 14:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154006 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154028 2. Columbine happened when I was in middle school so we had multiple discussions around the topic, but overall I felt very safe and did not see or experience much bullying
3. While I felt very connected to the school due to being in band and sports, I'm not sure many other students felt such a strong tie to it. ]]> 2017-12-14 14:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154028 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154038 1) I felt very safe at my school growing up.

I moved around a lot as a kid, but the last elementary school I attended had teachers that were caring with a warm affect.  2. Mostly it was safe.  I do remember always being aware of "the bigger/older" kids from 5th/6th grade and the need to keep your head down ;)]]> 2017-12-14 14:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154131 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/4byx3h2u322v/wish/216154168 1. I went to several different schools as a child because I moved several times. I would say that I did not feel that my teachers were very supportive or genuinely caring. It wasn't until middle school that I came across a teacher who I really felt cared and who was very supportive even though she wasn't one of my teachers. 
2. Yes
4. There was cultural diversity among the students but very minimally among the staff.
