Bullying is an everyday thing. Unfortunately, people who are bullied have few places to turn. Everyone knows how caring Mrs. McFatridge is. Now, she, her mentoring class, and the S.A.D.D. officers are starting an anti-bullying group for PCHS.
They’re kicking it off by an anti-bullying week. Each day has a designated color and meaning. This is occurring the week of January 24th. Flyers have been posted around the school announcing so, and details about it have been put in the weekly announcements.
“We will be holding a few meetings, but that’s mainly to establish our presence,” Mrs. McFatridge said when asked about the group's future plans. She also added, “it’s good for people to know that there’s a presence out there.”
The current members from Mrs. McFatridge’s mentoring are Dan Dan Chen, Shane Foos, Noel Rigdon, Tyler Roberts, Leslie Rush, Ashleigh Sanders, Rebecca Sexton, Erica Sheeran, Kurtis Shotts, Dakota Simpson, Anika Sons, and Sierra Campbell, and the officers from S.A.D.D. are Jed Powers, Morgan Englum, Erica Sheeran, Rachel Givens, and Drew Harper. These are just some of the participating in the anti-bullying group.
This is just one step towards helping the people who’ve been bullied. There’s now somewhere where they can turn. As Mrs. McFatridge preaches to her classes, “Progress, not perfection.”
