Anti-Bullying Presentation

This presentation by Minooka Community High School's S.T.A.N.D. (Students Taking a New Direction) will allow attendees to learn more about the various types of bullying, the impacts bullying has on victims, and how to stop bullying.  The program is open to parents, school staff, community members, and students who are eleven years old and older.  This is a free event.

S.T.A.N.D. originated from Friends of Rachel, which was created in the memory of Rachel Scott, who was the first victim of the shooting tragedy at Columbine High School in 1999.  The group follows the five tenets of Rachel’s Challenge: 1. Look for the best in others- Eliminate prejudice and bullying; 2. Dare to dream- Set goals; 3. Choose positive influences; 4. Kind words and actions; 5. Start a chain reaction of kindness and respect.
