The month of October Linden High School students and staff, along with all of Linden Public Schools, celebrated the Month of Respect. At Linden High School Mrs. Shamona Patterson (Anti-Bullying Specialist) along with the School Safety Team (SST) came up with suggested ideas and activities for teachers during the Week of Respect & Violence Prevention Awareness Week in an effort to enhance our school climate. Students were engaged in daily classroom activities and discussions centered around respect, anti-bullying and non-violence. A door-decorating contest took place in which many classrooms competed with various positive messages throughout the school. Messages such as Together we stand up against bullying and You will never reach higher ground if you are always pushing others down were on display for all to see. Our P.A.W.S (Positive Achievement With Success) program was also launched in which students are encouraged to display acts of kindness towards their peers, staff and themselves. Students who are Caught Caring will be recognized with a P.A.W.S card and that card will be entered into a monthly raffle. All students who receive a P.A.W.S card will be on display on our Caught Caring wall. Teachers also sent a powerful message and took a stand against bullying with all staff collaborating and wearing a T-Shirt which read The End of Bullying Begins With ME. These anti-bullying activities will not only end with the month October but continue throughout the school year.
