Counselor Connection
October/November Updates From Mrs. Sims
Middle School Happenings
Students in all grade levels attended a " No Place for Hate '' presentation hosted by Mr. Brunton and myself. During our presentation, students filled out a "follow along" worksheet in which they turned in at the completion. Students learned about the types of bullying which included verbal, social, cyber, and written. Students learned some of the statistics across the United States-what a bystander and an upstander is- and how to overcome fear when wanting to stand up for an act that is not right. Students made their way through a series of questions, and situations during the presentation to decipher if the situation was peer conflict, and act of bullying, or a mutual argument. Lastly, students were able to view our handbook pages that discuss bullying and the consequences as well as forms that the office uses to address these behaviors. Students were awesome, paid close attention, and we appreciate their cooperation during the presentations! ๐
