Activities, Challenges & Lesssons Learned
ACTION HIGHLIGHTS
We presented two Bully-Free Resolutions to Borough Council for their consideration. On May 14, 2013 at 7:30 P.M. at the Prospect Park Borough Hall, Borough Council passed these resolutions, making it the State's first “bully-free zone” and a “compassionate borough.” These same resolutions are being introduced in Tyrone Borough, Pa. We will be working with our School Board in order to implement new policies and programs for the upcoming school year which will become district wide. A "walk for awareness" is planned for October, 2013.
LESSONS
Some of the biggest changes are made by the smallest people.
ALLIES
We have gotten such an amazing response from our community, school board, borough council, mayor and other organizations such as The Bully Project and NIOT.
