According to National Youth Violence Prevention, a school-wide commitment to Bullying Prevention reduces the act of bullying by 50%.\u00a0 It is very encouraging to learn that all the efforts, by many organizations and concerned citizens, have been making an impact on our youth!<\/p>\n
There are a variety of classroom activities that encourage participation in the bullying prevention movement.\u00a0 One activity, targeted towards elementary and middle school students, encourages teachers to involve students in creating classroom rules for bullying.\u00a0 Once the rules are established, each child signs a petition.\u00a0 PacerKidsAgainstBullying.org has a contract that can be printed out at\u00a0 http:\/\/www.pacer.org\/bullying\/pdf\/ele-starting-the-discussion-files\/KABPledge.pdf<\/a>.\u00a0 It is a great idea to have these contracts signed by a parent or guardian, thus enabling communication at home.<\/p>\n Having a classroom or school-wide poster contest is another great idea.\u00a0 The winner of the contest\u00a0receives a small prize or has their poster displayed in the school’s office.\u00a0\u00a0Hanging these posters throughout the school not only promotes awareness, but allows children to showcase their creativity.<\/p>\n There are many free online games and educational materials available.\u00a0 PacerKidsAgainstBullying.org has designed their website specifically for younger students.\u00a0 \u00a0Students can play games, watch videos or participate in polls.\u00a0 PacerTeensAgainstBullying.org is also an interactive website for high school aged students.<\/p>\n RememberMe-Gifts.com and RememberMe-Awareness.com continues to accept donations for our Bullying Prevention campaign.\u00a0 It is our desire to supply elementary schools with Clever Catch (R) Bullying Balls<\/a>.\u00a0 For more information, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to National Youth Violence Prevention, a school-wide commitment to Bullying Prevention reduces the act of bullying by 50%.\u00a0 It is very encouraging to learn that all the efforts, by many organizations and concerned citizens, have been making an impact on our youth!
