News from Adair County Middle School

This week is all about bullying prevention in our schools and community.

As you probably know, bullying can come in many forms. According to "Stop Bullying Now 2013" it is estimated that 160,000 children miss school daily due to fear or intimidation by their peers.



Statistics also show that 56% of all students in the U.S. have personally witnessed some form of bullying.

With this, we need to do our best to make Adair County Middle School bully free.

To accomplish this goal, starting October 21, the Adair county schools have come together with the entire community to pledge to work for a safe, nurturing school environment.

Join us at Adair County Middle school to S.T.O.P. (safety, teamwork, opportunities, and power) bullying, violence, and risky behavior in our school system!

Monday through Thursday's events will start at 12:45pm and run until 1:15pmCT. Events and topics are as followed;
  • Monday, October 21- Officer Kevin Atwood will be speaking about cyber bullying.
  • Tuesday, October 22- Constable Jason Rector will be speaking about sexting.
  • Wednesday, October 23 - an Adanta representative will be speaking about self harm.
  • Thursday, October 24- Ellen Zornes will be talking to us about risky behaviors.
  • Friday, October 25 - We will be finishing out the week with a S.T.O.P. rally.This rally will be in the ACMS gym and will run from 8:30am until 10amCT.
We will be having many guest speakers. They will include Lindsey Wilson College's Dean of Students Chris Schmidt, LWC students, Officer Kevin Atwood, and a State Police Representative.

We are pleased to invite the community all days of the week. Come on out and join us as we educate our community and children about bullying as well as prevention tactics! Lauren McQuaide
