Buddy Up Against Bullying with the Eagle Nation in October!
Buddy Up Against Bullying Week at Glen Haven focuses on cultivating camaraderie and solidarity among students and staff to address bullying within our community. During this week-long campaign, students are encouraged to stand up for each other, promote kindness, and create inclusive environments where everyone feels safe and respected. Students will also be doing activities that align with our spirit days during huddle time. Each Grade will have their very own town hall where students and teachers will be working in collaboration with Peaceful School Productions. Through various activities, discussions, and awareness-raising initiatives, it is our hope that Buddy Up Against Bullying Week will empower our students to be proactive allies, speak out against bullying behavior, and promote empathy and understanding among their peers. Together the Eagle Nation will strive to build a culture of acceptance and compassion by working towards the eradication of bullying in all its forms.

What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice is a mindset and philosophy toward school climate and relationship building in a system. It is a social justice platform that allows students to:
build strong relationships to feel a sense of connectedness and belonging within a community
actively engage and problem-solve physical, psychological, social and disciplinary issues that affect their lives and the community at large.
take responsibility for their actions and work with those affected to restore the community and members who were harmed as a result of those actions.

Celebrating the positive
Listening. Family dinners, shared interests, and car rides can all be opportunities to talk, listen, and build relationships within the family.
Acknowledging and accurately identifying emotions
Working together to identify problems and develop solutions
Being reflective rather than reactive:
Focus on behaviors, not individuals.
Ask questions: What happened? What were you thinking or feeling at the time? Who was affected or harmed? How can the harm be repaired?
