Bullying Awareness Week

This week is Bullying Awareness week. Bullying is a big issue facing boys and girls of all ages. We want to raise awareness about this in hope of prevention. All students should know that teachers are here to talk to if they have any type of problem, including bullying. The one rule in our classroom revolves around respect: Treat others like you would want to be treated.
Below are the school quotes of the week. We will be looking at them each day and discussing what they mean. Feel free to discuss them at home as well and talk about what they mean to you.

“The only people you should try to get even with are those who have helped you”

“We all have a built in warning system that is called a conscience.  It tells us what to do when something is wrong and it can keep us from doing the wrong thing.  Don’t be upset when your conscience bothers you – that’s just the warning bell”

“If you witness an act of disrespect toward another person, don’t be silent!  You have an obligation to ask the disrespectful person to stop, or tell an adult.  It will make you feel better about yourself”

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.  Find ways to enjoy the people around you.”
