Helping Everyone Respect Others
WCHE Be A HERO Week, January 29 through February 2
Our campus goal for HERO Week is for West Cypress Hills Elementary students and teachers to work together to increase awareness of our Anti-bullying Rules:
- We will not bully others.
- We will try to help students who are bullied.
- We will try to include students who are left out.
- If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
Each day, Monday through Thursday, we will focus on a different rule, culminating in a Friday anti-bullying presentation at the school assembly. EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO DRESS LIKE A SUPERHERO ON FRIDAY, February 2!
Family Activity (**OPTIONAL Activity Due Thursday, February 1. See #3 below for details. **)
1. Share with your child(ren) a story from your own life about a time when you were bullied or when you acted as the HERO for someone else who was experiencing bullying. Ask your child(ren) to share a story of their own.2. Here are questions you and your child(ren) can discuss:
- How can we help students who are bullied?
- Do you use your words?
- Are they peaceful words or hurtful words?
- Do you stand up to a bully by acting like a bully?
- What is the BEST way to stand up for someone being bullied **Optional**:
picture to illustrate what that pillar means. Please have your child(ren) turn in the
