Description:
Bullying is a major issue in our communities. Cyber bullying, relational aggression, and peer pressure are just a few of the many ways that people are bullied, but it doesn\'t matter how it happens, all that matters is that it happens.
Bullying causes young girls to grow up with confidence issues and a skewed image of themselves. What the STARfish Project aims to do is give girls the tools they need to become productive community members.
The children of today are the future of our communities, and STARfish thinks that we should do everything we can to see that that future is one we can be proud of.
Our stakeholders include
Elementary schools
Teachers and principals
Girls in grades four-six
Elementary school parents
School districts 22 and 23
Background:
We exist to help bring equality in schools, and to assist in bringing and end to relational aggression bullying.I also intend to teach young girls how to spot a bullying situation and put a stop to it. STARfish envisions a community where young girls stand up for one another, and a time when bullies do not have as much power as they do now.
Objectives:
Our objectives include making sure that parents are involved in the teaching process, having a solid curriculum based on research that I have made, and to have contact with elementary schools that are experiencing bully issues.
Milestones:
What my team is planning to do is go into elementary schools with short, educational presentations that will give people the tools they need to protect and prevent bullying situations
Budget:
I will be receiving funds from a private business in my community. The funds will go towards any photocopying that will be needed.
Needs:
If I am not aloud to teach in a class without a certified teacher backing me up, I will need to find someone to do that. Also, if I cant get into schools at all I may need to find a private home of venue for my presentations.
