Middle school students have been collaborating on bullying prevention this week and decorating their classroom doors. Tune in next week for the results and for your chance to vote for the People's Choice Award! #TheBulldogWay
IMS students wore pink today to bring awareness to bullying prevention. Here's why we wear pink:
In 2007, two 12th-grade students and a few friends saw that a 9th-grade student was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. They knew they had to do something to show that this kind of behavior was not okay. They purchased pink shirts, handed them out to other students to wear, and by the end of the week most students in the school were wearing pink shirts to show support for the student who was bullied. Pink Shirt Day has now spread and become a symbol of anti-bullying around the world. #TheBulldogWay
Congrats to our Student of the Month, Miguel Francisco!! Also, congrats to the rest of the students of the month from other USD 446 schools! #TheBulldogWay
