Greenville South Middle School…
South School hosted Bullying Prevention Week  
February 4, 2012 

South Middle School has focused on creating a safe environment for students to learn. This entire school year, the Bullying Prevention Program has been an ongoing effort. In September, students took part in a Bullying Awareness Assembly sponsored by Darke County Center for the Arts. This was followed up in November with an interactive Smart Board lesson on identifying bullying situations and provided actions that could be used by students.  

The week of January 23rd-27th was designated as Bullying Prevention Week. Students participated in several activities.  One example was the designing of a T-shirt with kind words on it from other students. In March, Rob Fulker from Darke County Juvenile Court will be continuing the bullying program with a presentation regarding the legal implications involved with bullying. In addition to the programs, students have been provided with folders and a student hand book containing information directing them what to do if they encounter a bullying situation.
