Kindness and courtesy cost nothing
Anti-Bullying Day is observed each year on Nov. 8 to remind us that we all share responsibility for creating a safe, positive and supportive environment where everyone can thrive and feel they belong. Bullying takes a serious toll on well-being and damages self-image when left unchecked. We can prevent bullying by building a positive school climate, noticing and responding to it, and treating one another with respect.
A ceremony marking Anti-Bullying Day took place Friday at Hlíðaskóli. The event honored exemplary work in bullying prevention and highlighted projects that promote positive interactions and well-being. This year, the award went to the EKKO team at Fjölbrautarskóli Suðurlands in Selfoss.
The program featured a range of activities, including remarks by the president of Iceland and Frosti Þorvaldsson, a student in grade 9. Students in grade 7 performed two songs from the musical “Back to the Past,” and students in grade 9 helped Gísella Hannesdóttir sing “The Kindness Song.”
