To bring awareness to No Name-Calling Week (Jan.16-20) and to celebrate kindness, Project Harmony hosted a free-throw competition on Wednesday, January 18. The competitor who made the most shots in a row won a $20 gift card from Sheetz; 2nd and 3rd place contestants won a $10 gift card to Sheetz. Each participant will also received a gummy bracelet that reads “YSSD Reaches for Respect,” funded by Mrs. Foy and Project Harmony.
Students were asked to sign a pledge in honor of No Name-Calling Week, stating that they believe “bullying and calling other students hurtful names is wrong.” The pledge encourages students to intervene, if they safely can, when they see bullying and to support efforts to end bullying and name-calling.
