to Support Prevention of Childhood Bullying
In addition to October being National Red Ribbon Month, it is also National Bullying Prevention Month. Join us in celebrating UNITY DAY on Wednesday, October 21st by wearing the color orange to share a powerful message that we are together against childhood bullying and united in hope and support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Bullying is a form of aggression in which someone intentionally mistreats another person. It can come in many forms: verbal, relational aggression, cyber, and prejudicial.
We all have the power to address and discourage bullying of every kind. Be aware of the words you use and the actions you take. Practice being kind and tolerant of those you meet. Make sure anything you say in person or write online is kind. If you witness bullying, speak up to stop the bullying before it begins.
Kindness & Tolerance is one of the themes featured in the Red Ribbon Virtual Challenge weekly activities presented by InnerAct Alliance and Publix Super Markets. Students in grades K-8 can register free at www.RedRibbonRun.com, complete at least 15 challenges by October 31, 2020, and post completed activities on the Red Ribbon Run Facebook page with the hashtag #redribbonchallenge for a chance to earn points and win a special prize.
