H.E.R.O. Week

In Garland ISD, we are celebrating H.E.R.O. week. H.E.R.O. stands for help everyone respect others. It is an anti-bullying campaign that teaches kids that they can all heroes. We have had theme dress up days all week: crazy socks, team shirts, rock star, blue shirt, and superhero. Shout out to our amazing music teacher Mrs. Nelson and cool counselor Ms. Green who participated in the dress up days and the October Twitter challenge!

I read the book The Little Bully by Beth Bracken to my PLC classes this week and we discussed how words can hurt. As a group, the students brainstormed ways to help others and how to be a friend instead of a bully.

Then, the students created superheroes that do and say nice things. The students were very creative with their hero costumes!

I also displayed our cyberbullying books that students made last month for cybersafety week. It shows students that you need to be a H.E.R.O. online too!

Our book fair set up is tomorrow and I am so excited to see all the wonderful new books. Please join us for shopping Friday, October 7th and all of next week. We will be open until 6:45 p.m. on parent conference night and open during Friday morning conferences on October 14th.
