School-wide Commitment Reduces Bullying by 50%
According to National Youth Violence Prevention, a school-wide commitment to Bullying Prevention reduces the act of bullying by 50%. It is very encouraging to learn that all the efforts, by many organizations and concerned citizens, have been making an impact on our youth!
There are a variety of classroom activities that encourage participation in the bullying prevention movement. One activity, targeted towards elementary and middle school students, encourages teachers to involve students in creating classroom rules for bullying. Once the rules are established, each child signs a petition. PacerKidsAgainstBullying.org has a contract that can be printed out at http://www.pacer.org/bullying/pdf/ele-starting-the-discussion-files/KABPledge.pdf. It is a great idea to have these contracts signed by a parent or guardian, thus enabling communication at home.
Having a classroom or school-wide poster contest is another great idea. The winner of the contest receives a small prize or has their poster displayed in the school’s office. Hanging these posters throughout the school not only promotes awareness, but allows children to showcase their creativity.
There are many free online games and educational materials available. PacerKidsAgainstBullying.org has designed their website specifically for younger students. Students can play games, watch videos or participate in polls. PacerTeensAgainstBullying.org is also an interactive website for high school aged students.
RememberMe-Gifts.com and RememberMe-Awareness.com continues to accept donations for our Bullying Prevention campaign. It is our desire to supply elementary schools with Clever Catch (R) Bullying Balls. For more information, please click here.
Have you started your Christmas List yet?
Every year I set a goal to start my Christmas shopping early. If you are like me, you sit down with a piece of paper and jot down all the people you need to remember this holiday season. You have no idea as to what to get everyone, but you believe that you will “just know” when you see that perfect gift. You then sift through countless sales flyers and hit every sale that seems to be “the one” that will get your Christmas shopping started. Great plan…
Then, all of a sudden, we panic. Halloween and Thanksgiving have passed and it’s December! All those great intentions, thrown out the window. You’re stressed and you’ll buy the first thing you see just to check off another person on your list.
That is the reason RememberMe-Gifts.com has added Holiday Gift Ideas to our website. We have taken so much time to find the perfect, PERSONALIZED gift for everyone on your gift list. We have done the work for you. Also, when shopping early, you can find great discounts to save a bit on your budget. Right now, we are offering 20% off, for 3 days only, of our beautiful line of Personalized Photo Jewelry. This is the same jewelry as featured in “O” magazine!
Along with the celebration of the holiday season, unfortunately, many people are dealing with pain and sadness of missing that special someone during Christmas. Our passion is to provide the perfect gift to warm their hearts and give them the Gift of Remembrance. That is priceless!
Thus our motto:
As always, if you need assistance in finding that perfect Remembrance Gift, do not hesitate to contact us!
Welcome Educators!
I am extremely excited to welcome elementary, middle and high school educators to my blog. Since October is Bullying Prevention Month, I thought it would be a great way to communicate our ideas and come up with strategies as to how to protect our youth from the devastating consequences of bullying.
I have found many useful articles and free educational ideas that I plan on sharing throughout the month. Please visit http://www.rememberme-gifts.com/category_94/Bullying-Prevention-Month.htm for further details.
I believe this will be a valuable resource, not only for educators, but for parents as well. Our schools can only do so much. We do not want our children to be victims of bullying, but just as important, we do not want them to be the cause.
Please share this blog with those who are involved in children’s lives. The only way to make a difference is to be involved.
