“We don’t want to bully and make people feel uncomfortable or not welcomed because we’re all humans and we should all treat people equally.”
- Aubrey Holdstock, 6th-grade student, Tafoya Elementary School

“It’s very important. It’s right after the 3 Rs. The two qualities that alleviate bullying are compassion and empathy. Once you educate our youth and then add compassion and empathy, you create a wonderful human being. It just benefits humankind.”
- David Scolari, Counselor, Douglass Middle School

“This is in direct connection with our updated board policy and administrative regulations adopted last school year, which state we will be doing activities throughout the year to educate students, families, staff, and community members around the topic of bullying.”
- Dr. Felicia Rodoni-Wilson, Director of Student Support Services

“All students deserve to feel safe in our schools and in our community. Addressing issues of bullying is a priority of ours and will continue to be a focus throughout the year. From administrators, teachers, staff, and community members, it’s up to us to model mutual respect and kindness and demonstrate the willingness to seek to understand each other’s differences and points of view.”
- Elodia Ortega-Lampkin, Superintendent
