No Name Calling Week at Fisher School

Fisher School celebrated "No Name Calling Week" with a variety of activities this week.  All students and staff were reminded about the power of our words.  We can  help others with kind words or "scar" others with hurtful words.  We used the "THINK" acronym before we spoke- Is it true?, Is it helpful?, Is it inspiring?, Is it necessary?, and Is it kind?   

 

Our activities included:

Monday, January 21— Martin Luther King Day- Please reflect on MLK's message of nonviolence to solve problems.

Tuesday, January 22 — "Put a cap on name-calling." Students will be allowed to wear hats to support the fight against name-calling and bullying. Also, in homerooms, students will sign the pledge against name-calling.

Wednesday, January 23 — "Hands are for helping, not harassment," Stop Bullying and Cyber-bullying. Students will use sticky notes to write down a random act of kindness, positive comments or compliments and post it in the showcase in the front hall. 

Thursday, January 24 — "Remember, what you say, you can't take it back." Backwards Day.  Students will wear shirts backwards today.

Friday, January 25 — "Sports Day" – We are all on the same team against name-calling. Students will wear their favorite sports jersey, shirt, etc.

Our goal is that we realize the impact of what we say and that we will think before we speak. We have made some great strides this week towards achieving this goal.
