Stomp Out Bullying

International School on the Rhine - Neuss, Germany

Grades: K - 12

October 05, 2015

Nearly all of our amazing supporters (ISR’s amazing students and staff) decided to wear the magnificent colour BLUE, a colour representing peace along with calmness. This symbolised our joint stand against bullying. ``Stomp out Bullying´´ was the motto under which we united and have fought for ever since.

One of the many highlights of the day was the student-made Anti-Bullying video, `` The Power of One´´ which brought us closer to cyber, physical, passive mobbing and other types of bullying that have become a sad reality in schools around the world. Even a gigantic board was set up in the school foyer where many devoted students signed in support of stomping out bullying at ISR. The blue footprints on the hallway floors are daily reminders that ISR stomps out bullying.
