In the spirit of celebrating the National Bully Prevention Month throughout the month of
October, we have turned it into
OLL Kindness Month!!
Throughout this month, I will be tying in the virtues with the example of being Kind to oth-
ers. In doing so, the students will join their peers in signing the UNITY PLEDGE POSTER
to be displayed in the breezeway for the month of October.
Poster/Essay Contest
I will also be hosting a poster decorating contest for grades PK-2nd and an essay contest for
grades 3-5th & 6-8th. The contest will start this week and the teachers have the guidelines
for the contest. We will have 1st, 2nd & 3rd place prizes per grade level categories (PK-2nd,
3-5th, 6-8th) & all finalists will be awarded a certificate and an ice cream party with Ms.
Nixon at the end of the month!
Orange Tickets
For the month of October, in order to celebrate our Kindness month, students who demon-
strate kindness will receive an orange ticket instead of a blue one. These orange tickets rep-
resents 2 blue tickets!
Unity Day Wednesday, October 19th http://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp
I will have the students write their names and a message about unity on strips of orange con-
struction paper to create a chain to hang up around the school for this day. The students will
also be invited to wear an orange shirt with the regular uniform to honor unity in our school.
