Theme: Be A Buddy Not A Bully APRIL 2013 Antibullying Bulletin Board
Theme: Be A Hero Against Bullying MARCH 2013 AntiBullying Bulletin Board
Summary: Our Bulletin theme for the Month of March was Be A Hero Against Bullying. Children from all classes were asked to participate in writing a message of kindness and ways to prevent bullying in and around our schools. The work generated was read and shared with classrooms. February 2013 Antibullying Bulletin Board Our bulletin theme is Friendship. We have chosen friendship because we wanted to focus on a positive aspect of anti-bullying. By promoting friendship, and by influencing friendly behavior, we can build a strong foundation to stand against bullying! For our interactive anti-bullying bulletin, our first grade students have written friendly letters to their classmates. Many of these letters were written to thank a classmate for a kind moment, or to simply use kind words towards a friend. All of these letters inspire friendship and kindness. We hope these letters will inspire others to be kind, as well. Promoting and modeling positive behavior is the first line of deffense against bullying. We challenge you to be a great friend today! We can all be friends!
January 2013 Antibullying Bulletin Board Summary Snowflakes are amazing, unique and beautiful -- and like the children of our school each one is different. The Kindergarten classes of School #8 chose to expand on the snowflake theme for our anti-bullying bulletin board. Teachers discussed with our students how we need to learn how to treat others with respect and accept differences. The snowflakes we made showed that despite being different we are all special and we need to learn how to appreciate the differences and take a stand against bullying.

December 2012 Antibullying Bulletin Board Display What is a Friend video courtesy of BrainPopJr. November 2012 Antibullying Bulletin Board Summary November 2012 By Vanessa Tregenza Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud is the story of how we can each be “bucket fillers” or “bucket dippers”. The idea of the story is that we each have invisible buckets that become full when we are happy and do kind things. Our buckets are emptied when we are mean to others or others are mean to us. After listening to the story, students listed ways that they can be bucket fillers and make other people feel happy. Ideas included listening to their teacher, being nice to their friends, sharing, and helping others. They decided that bucket dippers are rude, do not listen, hit, and are bullies. The bulletin board displays the students’ writing about ways that they will be bucket fillers along with a bucket that they each colored in. It also displays posters identifying how to be a bucket filler, a bucket dipper, and asking students if they have filled a bucket today.
