At the Anthony School, the assignment was for each grade to create a skit or artwork that was a commemoration of National Anti-Bullying Week.
Eighth-graders Lauren Griffey, Alex Christie, and McKenna Mullis,
and several of their friends, made the assignment a mission: a music
video.
Alex had the camera equipment and came... up with a stop-action animation
technique that portrays the elements of bullying and ways to fight it.
Lauren can be seen on the video with a simple, direct style, commanding
the viewer on how to fight bullies. McKenna was a creative consultant,
as were several other friends.
The result was that within a weekend they produced a 3-minute video.
The following Monday, they debuted it to their school. Teachers,
students, parents, everyone there was so moved by what they saw, they
spread the word. The video was put on YouTube and it became an instant
hit. Watch the YouTube video.Read More

Mix It Up at Lunch Day is just around the corner. Most students report that the Mix It Up experience – taking one lunch hour to sit somewhere new and make friends – is a positive experience that helps reduce tension across social boundaries. Sometimes, though, students are reluctant to participate.
