Bullying Program Begins at South Middle School and Greenville Junior High
Greenville Junior High and Greenville South Middle School recently started a bullying program aimed at education and prevention. Gail Whittington (Darke County Recovery and Darke County Juvenile Court) and Rob Fulker (Darke County Juvenile Court) are leading the program. Gail and Rob recently completed an initial session at South Middle School and have started the first session at Greenville Junior High. They go into the classrooms to engage students regarding all aspects of bullying. They define, educate, and help prevent bullying from happening. They present the program in an engaging manner in order to capture the attention of all students. Greenville Junior High and South Middle School have taken an aggressive and proactive approach to bullying and this is a major step in helping to stop bullying in school. There will be two more follow up sessions at each building. The program will run through March. The program is conducted in smaller group settings in order to personalize the material and make sure that students understand the message. Special thanks to Rob and Gail as well as Darke County Recovery and Darke County Juvenile Court for all of their help in working with our kids! In addition, Jody Flommersfeld, Greenville Junior High Guidance Counselor has been conducting Sexual Harassment Talks with our students in the classroom at the Junior High Level. Her efforts are another step we are trying to take to educate and be proactive to prevent bullying and harassment.
