Battlefords area schools working to eliminate bullying
Local initiatives are helping students understand and resolve conflicts and changing the way students talk about bullying.
Bready Elementary School in North Battleford started a club recently called All Bready Cares, or ABC Club, where students participate in activities which teach them how to be respectful and work together.
“We want to go beyond just stopping bullying,” Principal Rhonda Simon said. “We want to look at things we can do to be kind and caring to our classmates and everyone.”
The program is based on an idea from Grade 4 student Jordin Ryan, and facilitated by Simon and guidance counsellor Jessica Labman.
