Kentucky Safe Schools Week Daily Announcements:

The Kentucky Center for School Safety announces Kentucky Safe Schools Week (October 15-21, 2017). This year’s theme is “Get Involved and Get it Solved" STOP the Bullying! Each day this week we will discuss how you can get involved and help!

To keep Kentucky schools safe places in which to learn and work, this year’s pledge asks you to agree to:

Get involved by not bullying others.

Get involved by trying to help students who are bullied.

Get involved by trying to include students who are left out.

Get involved by telling an adult at school or home, if I know somebody is being bullied.

Day 1

I will strive to: Get involved by not bullying others.

Almost every day you are faced with a situation where you have to step back and think about how to treat others or how other people are treating someone. When something bad happens at school or someone mistreats you, how do you feel? You should remember others feel that way too. Did you know, you can get involved in efforts that promote treating others with kindness and consideration? It is easy to be stressed when things don’t go right and so you might decide to pick on someone just to make yourself feel better (or so you think). If you concentrate on helping others instead of picking on them or belittling them you will make their life much

better and yours will in turn be better too. If you are tempted to make fun of or hurt someone’s feelings which is a form of bullying, start right now and make a pledge to be better in the future and “stop the bullying”. You might not have control of others, but you can change yourself. When you say you are just teasing, that is not an acceptable excuse, it is just a way out so you don’t have to feel you are responsible for the way you treated someone. Kindness never goes unnoticed and is always appreciated. If you are someone who tends to make fun of or tease someone, please rethink and rewind before it happens again.

Day 2 The Kentucky Center for School Safety announces Kentucky Safe Schools Week (October 15-21, 2017). This year’s theme is “Get Involved and Get it Solved" STOP the Bullying!

I will strive to: Get involved by trying to help students who are bullied.

You can stand up for yourself and others and make them feel they are important. When you see someone being bullied, remember you need to be the better person and not join in with him or her, but help the person in need. You can get involved when you help others that are mistreated. Have you ever noticed that sometimes a student in your school continues to pick on a particular person, and they will not leave them alone? For some reason they seem to want to make that person feel bad. If you have had that experience you know what it feels like and should be careful not to participate, even if others say they are just teasing. Sometimes we think we are just teasing, but if you were in the shoes of the other person what would you think? Any time something could be thought of as bullying to anyone, it should be stopped or avoided. Remember everyone wants to feel like they belong and have friends. Get involved in your class and at school by including others that are left out of activities or that others seem to pick on all the time. Everyone can look to you as their friend and that will make you feel good about yourself and others.

Day 3

The Kentucky Center for School Safety announces Kentucky Safe Schools Week (October 15-21, 2017). This year’s theme is “Get Involved and Get it Solved" STOP the Bullying!

I will strive to:


Have you ever been playing a game when someone picks others to be on their team? If you are the last one picked or not picked, do you remember how that made you feel. Please don’t let anyone feel that they are not included in activities or that they don’t have friends to sit with or talk to during the school day. If someone is eating alone at lunch could you invite them to eat with you, or even better, could you go to their table and sit with that person. People who are mature can handle this and not feel intimidated. It takes a strong responsible and caring person to reach out to others and include them. Most of us are afraid of what our friends will say or do, instead of having the compassion to know someone else needs your help. When you put others feelings ahead of yours, you are the bigger person. This inner feeling of accomplishment will continue to grow and make you a better and kinder person. So, please today, get involved and step out and include someone that needs to have a friend. You will be the winner!

Day 4


I will strive to:


Not everyone feels comfortable about stepping in when someone is being bullied, but everybody can get involved and tell an adult at school or home if someone is being picked on by others, made fun of, or if there is the appearance of any kind of bullying. We all need a little help sometimes, and many times an adult is the very one that could try to solve that problem and make the situation better. Wouldn’t it be neat if you were the one that made life better for another student by talking to an adult about how they are being treated and they could work on correcting this problem? If it were you, wouldn’t you be thrilled and appreciate someone taking the initiative to help you out, so that you would not have to worry about the way you were being treated. Sometimes students will not have the courage to speak up for themselves, but if you did that for them – wow, what a fantastic and caring person you would be.

Day 5


As the week comes to an end we all need to think of what our involvement can do to make a positive difference in our school in regard to bullying type behavior.

I will strive to:

Get involved and get it solved…

There are many ways to get involved at school to stop the bullying. Just think about how much you can make a difference with your involvement in solving this problem. From watching how you behave, being there to help others when they need you, including others that are left out, and telling an adult about a bad situation you are so important to the solution of this problem. Each and every person can work to make each school day better for everyone. The solution is obtainable! You are the solution! Wow!

Thanks for joining us by celebrating Kentucky Safe Schools Week and also for everything you do to help others make your school safe.

Remember to take the pledge!

To keep Kentucky schools safe places in which to learn and work, I pledge to:

Get involved by not bullying others.

Get involved by trying to help students who are bullied.
