Bullying Message from Miss Kansas
Miss Kansas, Alyssa George, visited KOES on Friday, April 25. The focus of her platform is bullying. During an all-school assembly, she gave the students information and tips about bullying. She informed them that there are 3 types of bullying: physical, verbal and social. Miss Kansas also told them there are 3 key people involved in a bullying encounter – the target, the bully and the witness. She stressed how important the witness is in helping to stop or report the behavior. Finally, she role-played four strategies for the bullying target: 1) broken record; 2) agree; 3) just say no; and 4) use humor. In closing, Miss Kansas shared her piano talent with the staff and students.
