Community Kindness Club | Character Counts MS

More than one out of every five students will be bullied this year. Bullying can be
pushing, shoving, hitting, name calling, making fun of, laughing at, and excluding
someone. Cyberbullying is when someone is tormenting, threatening, harassing
or humiliating someone on the internet, cell phone or through some other form of
digital technology. This is probably happening to someone you know and care
about.

Say NO to bullying... stand up, stand strong, stand together, stand CAROLINE KIND!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month!

To educate and raise awareness, we are encouraging all CCPS students to wear blue on Monday, October 5 in recognition of World Day of Bullying Prevention, sign the Anti-Bullying Pledge, and create a poster that shows what YOU can do to prevent bullying and to promote kindness and respect.

Contest Guidelines:

Design a poster related to bullying or cyberbullying prevention and attach this to your design. We have free art kits available. If you are in need of art supplies to create your poster, please see your school’s art teacher.
Be creative! Be colorful! Be YOU!
Include a POSITIVE slogan—examples include: “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully”, “Caution: Kindness Ahead”,
“Friends Don’t Let Friends Become Bullies”, “Don’t Let a Cyberbully Push Your Buttons”. Another
suggestion is to consider incorporating your school-wide expectations such as “Keepin’ it R.E.A.L.” or “P.R.I.D.E”. Not sure what your school-wide expectations are? Click here.
Submit your entry by placing it in the marked box by any Caroline County Public School entrance. All entries due by Friday, October 9, 2020.

Entries will be displayed in Denton storefronts beginning on Wednesday, October 21st, which is also World Unity Day.

CCPS families and Caroline County residents are encouraged to wear orange on Wednesday October 21 in support of World Unity Day and to join us in exploring downtown Denton to view entries and vote for the People's Choice Award.

There will be one winner from each school and one overall “People’s Choice Award.” Winners will be
