Heatly School community to join in solidarity to "Stomp Out Bullying" on Oct. 3
On Monday, October 3, Heatly School's faculty, staff and students will participate in Blue Shirt Day--a national prevention initiative to "Stomp Out Bullying" and start October off as National Bullying Prevention Month.
The school body will gather in the gymnasium on Monday morning to show their dedication to end bullying. The initiative is being sponsored by the Green Island Unified School District's Safe School Committee.
"'Blue Shirt Day' serves to reinforce that nothing can bring you peace but yourself," says Nicole Littlejohn and Shannon Donahue, committee co-chairs. "It's about being peaceful, listening to others and respecting others views."
Did you know that there are 160,000 kids who miss school every day out of fear of being bullied? Estimates are that one in seven students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade is either a bully or has been bullied. Heatly and schools around the country will be wearing blue shirts on October 3 as a statement against bullying. No one deserves to live their life in fear!
Check back on the district website for a photo gallery next week.
