👉 What is bullying?
Bullying is repeated behavior (it happens more than once), unwanted behavior (the person doesn’t want it to happen), that harms others.
Bullying can look like:
Physical – hitting, pushing, or taking someone’s things
Verbal – name-calling, teasing, or threats
Social – leaving someone out or spreading rumors
Digital – hurtful messages or posts online
💡 Family Challenge – Week of October 6
Talk as a family about what bullying is and why it’s hurtful. Then, work together to create a Bullying Prevention Sticker.
🎨 Turn your sticker in to Mrs. Vanhoose by next Tuesday. One sticker from each grade will be chosen to be printed for all Sherman students to wear!
📸 Don’t forget to send photos of your family completing the challenge to Mrs. Vanhoose or Mrs. Hamilton so we can celebrate your participation.
Together, we can make Sherman a safe, caring, and bully-free community. 💙
