Participate in a Nationwide Contest to Win Prizes for the Classroom

STUDENTS WITH SOLUTIONS, sponsored by Planet Fitness’ Judgement Free Generation®, is an initiative that asks students respond to the question, "What does it mean to be intentional with acts of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion?" Students are invited to answer the question in their own creative way through art, writing, graphics, or videos for the chance to receive awards and recognition!

Educators of grades K-12 are encouraged to:

1. Share the 3-minute Students with Solutions video with their students
2. Lead a thoughtful discussion using the “Classroom Discussion Guide” to talk about preventing bullying through intentional acts of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion
3. Encourage students to create a visual representation – such as a collage, photograph, drawing, video, or other creative medium – inspired by what they’ve learned and demonstrating their ideas for what acts of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion can look like
4. Submit entries to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center by December 31, 2019

All entries are eligible for a chance to win fun prizes for the classroom, such as

• New playground equipment
• Team-building games
• A buddy bench
• And more!

The contest is open to all classrooms, grades K-12, and will run through December 31, 2019.

This program is made possible through the Judgement Free Generation®, Planet Fitness’ philanthropic initiative, which aims to prevent bullying and promote kindness everywhere. In addition to Students with Solutions, Planet Fitness and PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center also partnered together in 2018 to release Bullying Prevention 101, a free-to-download educational resource designed to equip teachers, counselors, and other educators with tools to empower students to prevent bullying and stand up for kindness. The aim of these resources is to demonstrate how students can play a role in creating a more positive atmosphere at school, in their neighborhoods, and online, ultimately helping them to shape inclusive, “judgement free” communities for generations to come.
