Announcements- Wednesday. October 17, 2018

Today is the 32nd day of school. There are 149 days remaining.


NATIONAL BULLYING AWARENESS AND PREVENTION MONTH
This week kicks off National Bullying Awareness and Prevention Month. Every morning, there will be a different message about what you can do to stop bullying! First of all, how do you define bullying? Bullying occurs when someone says or does something intentionally hurtful and they keep doing it, even when you tell them to stop or show them that you are upset. Bullying can take many forms. It can be physical, like hitting, kicking, or punching. It can also be social or emotional, like using words to hurt someone, leaving someone out, or gossiping and spreading rumors. Bullying can happen at school, in your neighborhood, or online. Adults may not see when someone is bullied. This happens because bullying often happens outside the view of adults. This is why is important to report bullying to an adult! Adults want to know about it and stop it from happening.  

If you see or experience cyber bullying, save the evidence.  If the bullying continues, you may need the proof before steps can be taken to make it stop.  You can save the evidence by printing it, taking a screenshot, or just not erasing it.  Share what you see with a trusted adult so they can help.  The best thing you can really do on social media is to simply be kind to one another!  Another thing you can do on social media, is share awesome pics of you and your friends wearing orange on Wednesday, October 24, to celebrate Unity Day!
