John, We just wrapped up our Giving Tuesday $10K for $10K challenge. SPOILER ALERT: we met the challenge! Two things you didn't know... 1. Just two weeks into the holidays, we have fundraised 10x times more than we did in the entire month of December last year. 2. This past year, 97% of students reported a reduction in both the frequency and intensity of bullying after No Bully Solution Team® completion. Sounds incredible, we know; however, our students experience this kind of tangible and lasting transformation every day. Here is what some of our students wrote in their Solution Team® logs after just one meeting: "[Before, they told] me to go away when they are practicing dance. They even told other people [to] get away from me. It makes me sad when she does those things to me… I felt embarrassed. [Now] I feel a lot better. They said sorry to me and when they did that I felt good.” - Rhode Island “[Before] I ha[d] been feeling left out and not included. Yesterday a peer wasn’t so nice to me and the Solution Team stood up for me. The group that was being unkind are now being kind.” - California | |
