Marion Elementary School celebrated anti-bullying week from Oct. 1 through 9.

Events started when students wrote anti-bullying messages in chalk Oct. 1 on sidewalks in front of the USD 408 Sports and Aquatics Center, MES, and Central Park. Students and staff formed a peace sign on school grounds and a teacher took an aerial photograph.

Students dressed in mismatched and colorful clothing for “bullying makes me crazy” day. On Oct. 5, students worked on anti-bullying posters to display throughout the school. They voted on the best posters on Oct. 9.

On Oct. 8, guests read to students in the gymnasium.
