No Name Calling Week- January 15-19, 2024
No Name-Calling Week is designed to raise attention about bullying — both in school classrooms and outside the classroom in schoolyards and on social media sites. The Manville School District will be participating this year with a theme week, Calling people names, regardless of whether they’re children or adults, causing real harm that can lead to real consequences for the victim. Studies have shown that bullying and name-calling can cause a decline in academic achievement, depression, anxiety, and various other problems. Let’s come together and support our differences!
