THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
NATIONAL BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. What is bullying? The KM School Board lets us know that bullying can include name-calling, threats, exclusion, or spreading rumors. Bullying can be physical, spoken words, written words, or sent electronically (KMORR 2301). Bullying is one-sided, and is never just a joke. Bullying is a problem, and we want to put an end to it! This Friday, October 18, we invite everyone to wear pink to join the fight against bullying.
