With October touted as Bullying Awareness month, the issue has been a subject of much discussion in classrooms across Central New York. Many OCM BOCES' programs across our three-county area have explored the topic as part of their classroom curriculum. Our TEP (Transitional Education Program) students spent much of the month working hard on Anti-Bullying campaigns by doing research, creating posters and PowerPoint presentations and making anti-bullying pledges.
On Friday, Nove
mber 5, the TEP students also sold Stand Up Speak Out wristbands at the Career Training Center in Liverpool. The bands were sold for $1.00 each and raised $100 to go to the Pacer Center for Bullying Prevention.
For more information about OCM BOCES’ anti-bullying efforts or the wristband sale, please contact Meghan Gould, School Social Worker at 431-8529.
