Sharing the Anti-Bullying Message (What You Need to Know) By Sullivan School Grade 5 and Kindergarten Students

The Service Learning Project After completing an anti-bullying curriculum, the fifth grade students created a PowerPoint presentation including key points they felt should be shared with the kindergarten students. The two groups met to explore the anti-bullying message. They then collaborated to create illustrations of ways to treat each other respectfully.
