Before I begin talking about our Anti-Bullying Week Activities. I would like everyone to know that HMS will be having several events throughout the school year to address bullying. A student anti-bullying team has been developed to provide the students with empowering opportunities to learn and do more in reference to bullying. The goal is to increase student awareness and get us talking about the seriousness of this issue.   Here are the activities: Tomorrow during student enhancement, students, with the direction of their teacher will create a poster with an anti-bullying theme. We will be working on these posters on Friday the 21st and Monday the 23rd.   On Tuesday we will have our “Everything Blue Day”. We want as many people as possible to wear our school colors to show support for our stand against bullying. Feel free to come to school with your face painted as well. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoon we will begin working on a “Class Pledge” against bullying. This pledge will be posted somewhere in the classroom for everyone to sign. Friday will wrap up Anti-Bullying week with a class activity where students will share what they would do in a variety of bullying situations. The Anti-Bullying committee at our school would like to encourage all of you to be thinking and talking about what bullying is and what all of us can do to stop it.
