Join us in the fight against bullying. Mother Brunner Peacemakers and the Echo Team organized an engaging presentation to empower students and raise awareness. 🔍 We started with an interactive exercise, helping students understand the impact of bullying on their peers. 🌟 We emphasized being an "upstander" instead of a bystander – taking action when witnessing bullying to create a supportive community. 🎭 The Peacekeepers performed a skit to illustrate both negative bullying actions and positive student interventions. Let's stand together for a respectful, inclusive school environment. Together, we can combat bullying effectively! #BullyingPreventionMonth #UpstanderNotBystander
