The week started off with an assembly on Monday. The student council from Juab Junior High came to our school and taught the students about the types of bullying and things they can do to help stop bullying. The overall theme was "TAKE A STAND, LEND A HAND TO STOP BULLYING NOW!" 1st and 2nd graders watched short video clips on the different types of bullying and learned a song about "Standing for something". 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders watched as the student council explained and then acted out the different types of bullying. They also watched a video telling the story of a kid who was bullied and eventually ended up taking his life. A song was sung by Verena and Makena Lenhart letting us know that we all have the "Power Within" us to take a stand and to stop bullying. These students were also taught a song by the JJHS student council that talks about how important is to stand for something. We need to "Take a Stand." The assembly was a great way to kick off a fun week.
A big THANK YOU goes out to the JJHS student council: Nick Robbins, Hannah Jacobson, Sarah Bonzo, Taylor Ludlow, Brock Anderson, Lydia Bailey, McKay Christensen, Riki Squire, Cameron Welburn, Shelby Cameron, and Steven Orme. Below are a few pictures from the assembly:
During the rest of the week, bullying will be discussed in the classroom, and the students have the opportunity to write on our grafitti wall. Friday, students will wear white for "peace." Below are pictures of the grafitti wall in the lunch room and some of the things the students wrote.
Mrs. Ware said it best in the newsletter: "With a team effort of students, teachers, and parents working togehter, we can reduce the problems of bullying in our school and community." Working togehter is how we soar to success!
