Bully Prevention Month
Principal's Corner:
October is going to be a busy month at school! In addition to all of the learning we have planned, it is Bully Prevention and Include Someone and Make a Difference month. See the activities for this, below. Red Ribbon and Character Education recognition also happen in October. Mrs. Ybarra, our social worker, will be coordinating events to help our students learn and use important skills related to these areas. Check out the school calendar for spirit days related to these weeks.
This year for Bully Prevention and Include Others Month, I would love to have students participate in the following ways:
Wednesday October 14: “Kids Against Bullying” Pledge Day. Students will receive a bookmark and sign a pledge to: Speak up when I see bullying. Reach out to others who are bullied. And be a friend whenever I see bullying.
Wednesday, October 21: Project Connect: Students will write a positive message on a strip of ORANGE construction paper about being kind. The strips will be stapled or glued together, resulting in one long, connected chain that visually represents the power of uniting for a common cause.
Friday, October 23: Wear pink to show that we are together against bullying, and united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Choose something pink you already have, such as clothing, jewelry or accessories. Ideas might include:
t-shirt
shoelaces
socks
earrings
sunglasses
We will wear our orange and have a School-Wide UNITY Dance before school!
Wednesday, October 28: Turn in a story, poem, or artwork on the topic expressing your ideas why it is important to show kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Ask your teacher for the form.
All Month: Include Someone, Make a Difference
A campaign, created in partnership with Cartoon Network’s Stop Bullying: Speak Up initiative, inspires kids across the country to include someone to stop bullying before it starts. Check it out: https://www.pacer.org/bullying/include-someone/
