According to the Anti-bullying law, the purpose of a No Name-Calling Day is to "increase public awareness of the devastating effects of verbal bullying, to encourage students to use positive dialogue and pledge not to use hurtful names on this designated day." The day "promotes tolerance and respect for differences and to reaffirm the commitment of the citizens of the commonwealth to basic human rights and dignity." We, at Fisher School, extended this one day into a week full of reminders that encouraged each student to display compassion and respect for others. One of our messages to students was to have this be the first week of many in which we reduce verbal bullying in our school.
On Wednesday, January 25, our students wrote words of encouragement and positive messages to each other and posted them on our bulletin board in the main hallway. They have been wonderful reminders of how powerful our words can be to help each other.
