Our highlights of KINDNESS within MVJHS
Student panel discussion on the subject of VAPING. This may sound cliché, but "it isn't cool." We sat down and discussed with students the ill effects of vaping. In February 2020, the CDC CONFIRMED 2,807 cases of e-cig/vaping use associated lung injury (EVALI) and 68 deaths. Research suggests vaping is bad for both your heart and lungs.
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, text, and apps, or online via social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content in a negative, harmful, false, or mean manner.

This is a stand alone episode. Topic of discussion is a recap of the Kindness Initiative at MVJHS with Mrs. Brothers and Mr. Weaver.
Bullying Stats: 1 in 5 persons are bullied. Negatively effects a person psychologically , physically, socially, and/or academically Be an UPSTANDER, rather than a bystander. When bystanders become upstanders, bullying STOPS within 10 seconds 57% of the time. "In the end, what will hurt us the most is not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." MLK JR.
Inclusion: the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure.
Students discuss how your actions create RIPPLES, and the differences between positive vs. negative ripples. We want to be intentional in producing positive ripples for long term effects. Be KIND on purpose. Make it normal. "So be that person." Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) challenge: Find at least 2 positive things you can do this week to send out positive ripples. Even if it's small, every ripple makes a difference.
Students help explain and illustrate what EMPATHY means…
