Anti-Bullying Month 

October is our “Anti-Bullying Month.” John Muir will take a proactive stance on Anti-bullying and kindness with a month-long emphasis on being kind to one another, unity within our community, and bullying prevention. Here is a list of things that will happen in October:

• Teachers and Staff will provide lessons and activities around anti-bullying and kindness. 
• We will have community circles within the building around how students want to feel in school. 
• Staff and students will recognize kindness throughout our building with “Random Acts of Kindness Cards.”  
• Kindness Week is October 16-20th. Within “Kindness Week” we will have Unity Day on October 18th (students can join staff in wearing orange for Unity) and will conclude with an all-school assembly Friday, October 20th. Be on the lookout for flyers around campus. Here is our weekly themes and optional dress-up attire chosen by 4th and 5th grader student leaders.
