World Day of Bullying Prevention
Monday, October 1st is World Day of Bullying Prevention. On this day students, schools, and communities all over the world go BLUE together against bullying. It is always held the 1st Monday of October. To help recognize this day and to help teach the students about bullying, we are going to have announcements read each morning over the PA in the elementary schools (starting Monday September 24th) leading up to Monday 10/1. We hope we can have all students and staff wear BLUE on 10/1 to help signify anti-bullying and changing the culture in our world and to reflect on our own behavior and how we treat others.
We will then continue our monthly Blue Shirt Days on the 1st Wednesday of the month starting in November.
