Julie Creighton: Our Brave Blue Band…Let’s stand against bullying!
We have just wrapped up a 3 rd successful week of our Sunday morning Bully BRAVE seminars!
We are setting out to educate, and empower children in how to use effective skills against the most common form of bullying…verbal; all the while supporting the ongoing research of a devastating illness experienced by Canadian children and their families every day; Juvenile Diabetes.
Last week a young student of ours and her family approached our school with “I stand against bullies” wrist bands, a concept that the family designed as a result of the overwhelming impact bullying has had throughout each of their lives. They say timing is everything and in my opinion we couldn’t have crossed paths at a more opportune time. I commend the family for turning their devastating experiences into problem solving measures designed to spread awareness.
Living in the ‘solution’ rather than the problem is how I see them. As a result we are now proud to be carrying these wristbands in our school to help the community of Milton stand up against bullying! All proceeds will go to our 2012 charity of choice the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
