New Anti- Bullying Curriculum for CGS 5th Graders




Posted by Jillian Perrault, Guidance Counselor


The 5th graders are learning how to make our school safer through our new anti-bullying curriculum.  Boston vs. Bullies is an anti- bullying initiative brought to us by the The Sports Museum and the Boston sports community. Students are really enjoying these lessons because the program features current athletes from our Boston Professional sports Teams who are able to share their own stories from the past. Students are learning about the 3 Characteristics that define a situation as bullying. They are also learning what steps to take if they are being bullied or see bullying happening around the school. Effective bullying prevention requires preparation and teamwork so by preparing our students to stand strong against bullying they are helping create a safe environment for our students to thrive in.
