Organized by Madison High, this event is part of Madison's ongoing commitment to safe schools. Schools in the Madison cluster are: Field, Hawthorne, Holmes, Lafayette, Lindbergh/Schweitzer, Sequoia and Whitman elementary; CPMA and Innovation middle; Mt. Everest Academy, Muir K-12 and Madison High schools.
Each school decorated a wooden hand with a pledge against name calling and hurtful language. Each hand was presented to Principal Richard Nash and displayed by Area 4 Superintendent Marian Kim-Phelps on a board to be viewed in the Performing Arts Center.
Led by their sponsor club guides -- the Madison High Devil Ducks Robotics Team -- Lindbergh Schweitzer students, staff and parents were treated to friendly competition games of tug-of-war, basketball, and volleyball. Together with the Madison students in the new broadcast studio, they then pledged their voices to end bullying at their school sites with a DVD to play for their fellow classmates. The day concluded with students adding important words to remember to a student-created banner and then colored it with a rainbow of colors to beautify their campus walls.
