No Name Calling Day!

Reid is trying to "Black Out Bullying!"

Reid announces student and faculty activities to call attention to:

National No Name Calling Day.

Principal Morgan Williams announced today that Reid Middle School will recognize "National No Name Calling Day" on Wednesday, January 25th by inviting students and faculty to participate in a building wide awareness campaign. To launch the campaign, public service announcements have been created by the students and will be made Monday and Tuesday, along with the presentation of a short video about bullying.

On January 25th, 2010 Governor Deval Patrick designated the fourth Wednesday in January to be "No Name Calling Day" in Massachusetts. The intent of the designation was to encourage classrooms across the Commonwealth to take a stand against bullying. The day is also to remember those victims who have committed suicide after being bullied themselves.

At Reid Middle School, students are being encouraged to wear black as a sign of their commitment to "Black Out Bullying" in school on January 25th. In addition, students will be encouraged to take a stand against bullying by taking a pledge and signing a banner that reads "I pledge to take a stand against bullying and name calling." Large banners will be hung along the corridors throughout the day on Wednesday. Student Councilors will be staffing the banners and interviewing students about bullying.

"I believe that we are moving our school community towards a culture where students use positive dialogue, promote tolerance, and respect differences." Williams added. "Our overall goal is to spread the word and make this day a success by encouraging students and staff to stand up against bullying."
