National Stop Bullying Day is Wednesday, October 9th. The day raises awareness of bullying and encourages people to stand up against it in schools, workplaces, and online. It also encourages people to spread kindness and support those who are being bullied.
When you can be anything, be kind! Kindness matters!






Check out these three awesome buddies! They love hanging out together, hitting the books at school, and tearing it up on the field after school. First graders Chance Blades and David Miller Frost, along with PreK4 student Holt Blades, are all about dominating the soccer field at the YMCA. Way to go! Vienna is excited for these amazing pals!"
Introducing our first featured athlete, Hunter Cage! Hunter is a double threat, playing football for the Laurel Bulldogs #52 and lacrosse for the Falcons #52. It seems like #52 is his lucky number! Let's give it up for Hunter! Go, Hunter!!
