Bullying Prevention Month: Choose Kindness
October is Bullying Prevention Month, and SC Middle and High Schools are starting the month by encouraging our students to choose kindness, support one another, and help create a school where everyone feels they belong.
On October 1, Mrs. Rykard visited our 8th grade Tribes to talk with students about bullying prevention and the important role each student can play in creating a positive school culture. Today, our school counselors, Haley Rykard and Kimber Sellers, the APEX counselor, Megan Baldwin, and school social worker, Bianca Bright, continued the conversation by setting up a Bullying Prevention table in the cafeteria.
Students also joined together to create a chain filled with positive and encouraging messages that will be displayed in our hallway as a reminder that our words and actions matter. Mrs. Albritton, Mr. Johnson, the counselors, and our students even had a little fun posing with the growing chains!
It was a great way to kick off Bullying Prevention Month and remind everyone that kindness, inclusion, and looking out for one another are all part of Building the Tribe!

Suicide Prevention Awareness
This week, our school social worker, Bianca Bright, our school counselors, Haley Rykard and Kimber Sellers, and our APEX counselor, Megan Baldwin, set up a Suicide Prevention Awareness table in the cafeteria. Students were able to stop by to pick up stickers, candy, and helpful information about suicide prevention and available resources.
This was an important opportunity to remind our students that they are valued, support is available, and there are trusted adults ready to listen and help. We appreciate our student support team for continuing to promote awareness, connection, and care throughout our school community.
