Each fall, as part of our Olweus bullying prevention program, we have a "kick off" event. This year each grade level designed a bulletin board representing one of our four bullying prevention rules.
1. We will not bully others.
2. We will try to help students who are being bullied.
3. We will try to include students who are left out.
4. If we know somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home.
These bulletin boards are extremely creative and the children were able to make more sense of the rules by participating in this activity. The children in each class will soon take a field trip around the school so each teacher can share all the boards with the children. This is an activity that brought the whole school together.
