Lester Prairie Elementary students held their 2nd annual
Olweus Anti-Bullying Campaign Kickoff. The event took place during
three days of events from October 1st-3rd. The event coincided with the
well publicized Anti-Bullying month of October. Events the students
participated in were creating hand cut-outs for the "Take a Stand, Lend a
Hand" bulletin board. The students also played Cool to be Kind
Charades. The ideas for the charades came from upper elementary
classrooms and students. The final station was creating a snack mix and
reading. During this station students read with multi-grade friends
and discussed with staff members how we are all different and unique,
just like a snack mix, and we can do great things together.
Planning
for the event took place during monthly meetings and througout the
summer with the Olweus Committee. The elementary staff also performed
and led a cheer showing their united front against bullying. Students
and staff were encouraged to wear orange during the festivities. Orange
is also encouraged to be worn during the Olweus Orange Days which are
every other week on Tuesday's throughout the year.
