Bullying Prevention Awareness

Post written by this month's guest blogger, Chloe Brandon #CMSHS Student

CMSFHS is all about bullying prevention! At our October meeting, there were a total of 17 students that attended. The meeting this month covered the effects that bullying has on a person, such as depression and low self-esteem. We learned how and when bullying starts and what we can do to prevent it. We also discussed the importance of making a stand against bullying. The STAR challenge of October was to take a selfie in orange to promote

 “Unity Day” on October 22^nd. 

Students at CMSFHS are excited about Friends of MHINDS this year and are ready to be educated on mental health! We are also very thankful for the discount provided from Casey’s pizza for our lunch.
