Definition of Bullying:
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

Cardinal Upstander Kaliyah Luke
Introducing our Cardinal Upstander Awards
This award will go to students who exemplify Upstander qualities during a situation involving bullying or potential bullying:
-Don't give bullying an audience
-Be their friend
-Help them get away
-Set a good example
-Tell a trusted adult
By doing these things, students will help others to Stand Up & Speak Out against bullying of all types, therefore making them upstanders instead of bystanders.
Please email me names of kiddos you believe have stood up and spoken out against bullying throughout the year.
