October is Bully Prevention Month! KGMS will begin by celebrating World Day of Bullying Prevention on October 1st by wearing a BLUE shirt. On this day students, schools, and communities all over the world go BLUE together against bullying. Join us in solidarity to stop bullying and cyberbullying! By wearing a blue shirt we will send a message that bullying prevention is heard around the world. Change the Culture! #BlueUp The celebration will continue on October 10th with an anti-bullying assembly by country singer Celeste Kellogg. She has a powerful anti-bullying message. Students received a flyer on Friday with various merchandise that can be purchased. Celeste Kellogg will donate 10% of the proceeds to KGMS. The money raised will go towards Bully Prevention curriculum. We will finish the month with Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31. Stay tuned for more details about the week.
