bball4bullying This week is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week and to that end staff and students at all Near North District School Board institutions are wearing pink on Wednesday as a way of celebrating acceptance and drawing awareness to the prevention of bullying. 

The theme of the week is Stand Up to Bullying.

In a release the board says schools play an important role in providing students with an opportunity to learn and develop in a safe and respectful community. 

The release says each school is working hard to align itself with the boards plan to address bullying prevention and intervention and activities and events are being held at schools all week long.
