Only 19 days till school!
Brownell Anti-Bullying Campaign:
We will be having a series of special motivational speakers
this school year to help with our Anti-Bullying Campaign. Once we have solidified the speakers and
dates we will let everyone know. Our
hope is to have a minimum of three as it is important to have different
perspectives on issues of bullying as there are as many different personal
stories as there are victims of bullying and bullies themselves.
We
are also implementing the “Olweus® Bullying Prevention Program” at our school
which has different components and one of the components is a Class Meetings That Matter piece that
gives time for a short presentation by the teacher, every other week or so, on
subjects such as Building a Positive
Classroom Climate or Respecting
Differences and Promoting Acceptance as well as time for students to talk
about different issues they and their friends are struggling with.
