Bully prevention taken to students 

LAPLACE — Sgt. Denise Bertrand visited LaPlace Elementary School Oct. 5 to talk with students in kindergarten through second grade about bullying and bully prevention.

Bertrand explained a person who purposely tries to hurt others is a bully, while encouraging students to treat everyone with respect.

Students who witness bullying are encouraged to speak up for the person being bullied then walk away and get help from an adult. Bertrand gave students bully prevention coloring books as part of her visit.
