Newsflash! Massachusetts' "Black out Bullying" Day!

Today, Governor Deval Patrick, has assigned as "No Name Calling Day". Students are encouraged to wear black to school today to "black out" bullying. "We need to foster safe environments for students, and 'No Name Calling Day' is an initiative to help raise awareness that bullying should not be tolerated," Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray said. "I hope that on this day and throughout the year, students feel protected and safe in their schools and communities." Students will also sign No Name Calling posters. I know that last year my school did this. To read more, visit Governor Deval Patrick's Black out Bullying Day.
