One of our readers, a parent of a McClure middle school student, wrote to us concerning the incident of harassment and bullying that occurred last Wednesday between middle school students from McClure and St. Anne School. Kelly writes,
I am a parent of a McClure middle schooler who was NOT involved in the incident on Wednesday. I am sad and disappointed this has occurred. The McClure community has made great strides to improve our reputation in the neighborhood. I truly believe the vast majority of kids at McClure are good kids. I would like to believe this is an isolated incident but have no way have knowing for certain. I do know that two of the kids doing the bullying involved were Queen Anne residents. This is not an issue of kids from outside the QA community harrassing the St. Anne kids. QA parents, merchants and schools need to support each other. Do not be afraid to step in if you see kids misbehaving. If you don’t feel safe doing this call the police or notify school administration. Often people do not report to the school so administration has no way of knowing what is occuring outside of school hours. In the past, they have responsive when merchants and parents have reported inappropriate behaviors.
Thanks, Kelly. Post your thoughts in the comments below.

Here, here. Queen Anne is a community like any other with the good and the bad all jumbled together. This has nothing to do with race, busing or any of those other hot button topics. However it does have everything to do with coming together as a community to ensure the safety of ALL of our children. Kids from any school have and will misbehave and make very poor decisions. It is up to local families and merchants to report and/or diffuse incidents of harassment or violence as they occur. Signed, A St. Anne Parent

As a parent of a Mcclure 7th Grader and a merchant on the Avenue i would love for somebody to post information about this event and or for the schools involved to shed light on what happened. I have been so pleasently surprised with the quality of communication between parents and the middle school in the past. but each time that there is a negative incident us parents are left to rumors guessing and possibly receiving mis information. I would love to be able to talk openly to my child about such events, I would like my child and children to perceive the school and communitty as a whole. in other words, we all know whats going on. This I feel will let our children know that WE know whats going on. I dont think that names need be given out, but I sure would like to be able to talk to my child about them hoping to head off any such behaviour in him. I understand that the schools involved might not want to expound on negative events, but surely rumors and guesssing and asking everyone just makes it worse.
