The children at Rio del Mar Elementary School in Aptos have made it into the news, and for a good reason! The kids are fighting bullying by being kind, according to a new report by KION TV. Students and faculty are participating in a 21 day challenge which is being supported by the Random Acts of Kindness Club.
The Club was formed this past December by Justina Bryant, the parent of a Rio del Mar elementary school student, who was moved to do something when she saw another student taunted and bullied by other kids at the school. While the club is small, they’ve already had an impact by having anti-bullying posters and by getting teachers to show 1-minute anti-bullying videos in class.
Hats off to Justina Bryant, members of the Random Acts of Kindness Club, and the other kids and faculty at Rio del Mar Elementary School. School bullying isn’t cool, and it’s gratifying to see a grassroots effort by members of the community to stamp it out.
