No Name Calling Week
From January 20-24 across the United States, schools will be celebrating No-Name Calling Week.
A little history behind it: GLSEN's No Name-Calling Week is a week organized by K-12 educators and students to end name-calling and bullying in schools.
Founded in 2004 with Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, and
evaluated
by GLSEN research, No Name-Calling Week was inspired by James Howe's novel The Misfits about students who, after experiencing name-calling, run for student council on a No Name-Calling platform.This is a week when we are reminded that our words can either make people happy (put-ups) or hurt their feelings (put-downs). Instead of using put-downs and calling ourselves or others mean and hurtful names, we want to focus on using POSITIVE and UPLIFTING words to describe ourselves and others.
Students will be celebrating No-Name Calling Week with a spirit week.
Tuesday, January 21 will be "Celebrate Your Freedom From Name-Calling!" - Wear red, white and blue
Wednesday, January 22 is "Stay Bright - Name-Calling Takes You to the Dark Side" - Wear neon or bright colors
Thursday, January 23 will be "Put a Cap on Name-Calling" - Wear your favorite hat.
