More Ideas

From Debbie:

Monongah Middle School will be participating next week in the following ways.

Peer Mediators have worked on a bulletin board in our cafeteria to kick off the week and make students and staff aware of what we are targeting as a goal in promoting this week. Also they have worked on posters to display.

Developmental Guidance lessons will be taught to the 5th and 6th grade students on Bullying and the subject of not calling others names and it's affect on their peers. They have also been working on posters, writing slogans, poems, or short writings on this subject. These will be displayed in the hall ways during the week.

I am hoping to show the film "Stop Picking On Me" as a school assembly in the auditorium or cafeteria, and follow-up with a short discussion on how to cope and strategies that work when dealing with bullies.

I am also going to start by the end of this week with daily announcements to kick off the week and prepare the students and staff for the upcoming week's activities.

Our school librarian has agreed to be involved in the media center by book displays and class activities that are representative of this topic. I intend to go into her classes and join with her in "readings" to the students about "NO Name-Calling and it's effects on others.

From Monique:

One idea I think I am using at the Elementary school in Fairview is a Compliment Car Wash- The students are lined up in 2 rows facing each other- each student takes turns walking through the "car wash" and gets positive comments made to them by their classmates.
