Principal’s Message
Dear Family and Friends of
PDMSS,
On
Thursday,
September
6th,
John
Abrams
came
to
help
kick‐off
the
Olweus
Bullying
Prevention
Program
with
our
students.
The
assembly,
entitled
The
Bully
Game,
is
based
on
the
same
principles
contained
in
the
Olweus
Program.
Mr.
Abrams,
who
visited
our
school
last
year
as
well,
did
a
wonderful
job
helping
the
students
understand
a
serious
subject
in
a
fun
and
entertaining
way.
The
assembly
began
with
a
deEinition
of
bullying:
“Bullying
is
when
someone
repeatedly
and
knowingly
says
or
does
mean
or
hurtful
things
to
another
person
who
has
difEiculty
defending
himself
or
herself.”
Using
a
game
show
format
the
students
went
on
to
learn
that
when
you
taunt
someone
or
gossip
about
someone
and
hurt
their
feelings,
you
are
acting
like
a
bully.
Mr.
Abrams
focused
on
working
together,
being
friends,
and
communicating
to
an
adult
when
someone
is
behaving
like
a
bully.
By
doing
all
these
things
we
will
make
our
school
a
bully
free
zone.
continued on page 2
Students earned points if they were able to
work together. In this way they learned the
importance of cooperation when trying to
solve problems.
The Bully Game
Contestants Takoda, Maxine,
and Talia get ready to play a
game, with the help of Raya,
to show the difference
between gossip and chatter.
Mrs. Calvert joins in the fun to
help with learning the
difference between being a
bystander and being a good
witness.
An enthusiastic group of 2nd graders wanted to
answer questions and volunteer to be part of
the Bully Game Assembly.
Contestants built pyramids that stood for the 3
main concepts: No More Taunting, No More
Gossip, and Be a Good Witness.
CALENDAR
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE CONT.
Class
meeting
were
held
in
every
room
this
week.
During
the
meeting
the
four
bully
rules
were
introduced
and
students
had
an
opportunity
to
explore
the
ideas
presented
and
ask
their
questions
in
a
safe
environment.
We
will
continue
to
incorporate
this
program
throughout
the
school
and
we
look
forward
to

the
work

PDMSS Farmer’s Market
We had our school's first Farmer's Market and it was a
big success. To raise money for our organic gardens
and spread the message to buy local, the CoEnvironmental Commissioners, Jonah F. and Henry M.
organized a Farmer's Market afterschool on Friday. We sold flowers, organic fruits, nuts and veggies and a
lot of wholesome treats. (The Raw, Vegan Dark
Chocolate Macaroons went fast!) We also packaged
our very own PDMSS Organic Fertilizer from our
composting bins. Thank you to our supporters for their very generous
donations of food,
supplies and time:
The Tin House Farm
The Ranch at Live Oak/Malibu Silver Lake Farms
The Dempsey Family The Dimmel-Alexeff Family

Pacific Coast Highway Safety Study
The City of Malibu in collaboration with the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) is conducting
a study of safety along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) from
the eastern to the western Malibu City limits, approximately
21 miles, for all modes of travel (pedestrians, bicycles and
autos).
The Study will include recommendations for prioritized
improvements along three primary study areas:
1. Study Area 1: Topanga Canyon Rd. to Cross Creek Rd.
2. Study Area 2: Cross Creek Rd. to Busch Dr.
3. Study Area 3: Busch Dr. to Western City Limits
Public Meetings
Please join us at one of the upcoming public meetings to
discuss existing conditions, your perspective and concerns
on the corridor.
The first three meetings will focus on one specific study
area. The fourth meeting will review material presented at
the first three meetings and provide community members
another opportunity to offer valuable input and feedback.
Meeting Location
All 4 meetings will be held at:
Malibu City Hall
23825 Stuart Ranch Rd.

Malibu to Celebrate COASTWEEKS with Three Dynamic Events
The City will host a beach cleanup, outdoor movie screening and Beach Ecology Workshop, all of which are
free and open to the public.
Malibu, California – In celebration of COASTWEEKS, the City of Malibu will host three compelling events: a
beach cleanup and outdoor movie screening on September 15, and a free Beach Ecology Workshop on September
19. All events are free and open to the public.
COASTWEEKS is an annual three-week celebration of our coastal and water resources that takes place throughout the
country from September 15 through October 7.
The kick off for the celebration is the annual Coastal Cleanup Day (Saturday, September 15, 2012), when 70,000
Californians come together to keep our coasts and inland waterways free of debris. On this day the City of Malibu, along
with the Malibu Surfing Association and Heal the Bay, will host a beach cleanup at Surfrider Beach from 9 a.m. until 12
p.m. to join the tens of thousands of Southern Californians who, during that same timeframe, will head to their local
beaches and inland waterways on a mission to clear the sand and water of harmful and unsightly pollution. Last year,
more than 67,000 volunteers from California removed 676,768 pounds of trash and 115,773 pounds of recyclable
waste. Students can earn up to three hours of community service. Volunteers are offered free parking in Los Angeles
County parking lots for this special event.
During the evening of Saturday, September 15, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Legacy Park, the City will host an outdoor
screening of “Last Call at the Oasis,” a renowned documentary that illuminates the vital role water plays in our lives.
The film presents a powerful argument for why the global water crisis will be the central issue facing our world this
century, and features distinguished experts as Peter Gleick, Alex Prud’homme, Jay Famiglietti and Robert Glennon.
Director Jessica Yu will be present to answer questions before the film. Legacy Park is located in the Malibu Civic
Center between Pacific Coast Highway and Civic Center Way.
Then on Wednesday, September 19, the City will host a free Beach Ecology Workshop at Malibu City Hall (23825
Stuart Ranch Road) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Featuring presentations by Dr. Karen Martin of Pepperdine University and
Dr. Jennifer E. Dugan of UC Santa Barbara, the workshop will educate attendees about beach ecosystems and the value
of kelp wrack to shorebirds and other marine wildlife.
More information about the City’s COASTWEEKS events can be obtained online by visiting www.malibucity.org or
by calling (310) 456-2489 ext. 275.
The City of Malibu was incorporated on March 28, 1991. Located in Northwest Los Angeles County, the City
has 21 miles of coastline along the Pacific Ocean and a population of 12,645.

Hula classes for children and adults will take place Saturday afternoons beginning September 15. Students will

Islands. Children’s classes take place from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., and adult classes from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Horror Movie Workshop teaches youths ages 8 and older how to put together a horror movie from start to finish.
In this special 4-week workshop, students will create an idea for a scary movie and turn it into an animated film filled
with scary sound effects, music and special effects. All movies will be professionally edited, and a DVD will be
provided to every student in the workshop. The workshop takes place Mondays beginning September 10 from 4:45
p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
All classes take place in Malibu. For more information or to register for these classes, please call (310) 4562489 ext. 358 or visit www.malibucity.org.
