Creating a Culture of Kindness in Anne Arundel County Schools & Community
Our Vision for Bully Prevention Partners
Creating a culture of kindness is a big undertaking but one that we must take on if we want our children to be safe and feel safe while they are at school.
How do we create a culture of kindness? First is awareness of the issues and what our students, teachers and parents are facing everyday. Then we may need to adjust our thinking and how we respond to bullying behavior.
