Herington USD 487 -

Last week the H.E.S. "Little" Railers had some "Big" Railers from the HS and MS read to them during their library time to celebrate National Anti-Bullying Awareness and Prevention Month. Mrs. Stilwell coordinated with several HS and MS students to read a selected book to the H.E.S. students and discuss positive ways to handle bullying in a variety of situations. The 2nd-3rd grade students heard and discussed the story POUT, POUT FISH AND THE BULLY, BULLY SHARK. The 4th and 5th graders listened to THE JUICE BOX BULLY and discussed ways to be an "upstander" rather than a "bystander" when seeing a bullying situation.
