No Name-Calling Week 2009 Creative Expression Contest
Oct 30, 2008
THIS YEAR'S CONTEST:
No Name-Calling Week (January 26 - 30, 2009) is a week of educational activities aimed at stopping name-calling and verbal bullying in schools. The Creative Expression Contest is an opportunity for students to submit essays, poetry, music, original artwork, or other pieces that convey their experiences and feelings about name-calling, and their ideas for putting a stop to verbal bullying in their schools and communities. This year’s contest has been moved to coincide with No Name-Calling Week. The goal is to have students working on their art pieces during the week as a way to learn about and deal with name-calling and bullying.
