Engage students through videos, art, and writing
Students with Solutions is a project that engages your students to address bullying through videos, art,
and writing *mdash; and receive rewards and recognition! How it works:
WATCH the new Teen Talk on Cyberbullying, a five-minute video designed to provide authentic insight and perspective from peers on issues related to cyberbullying
CREATE drawings, write poetry, or even film a video responding to the themes portrayed in the video
SEND your images, writings, or videos to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center by April 30.
This is the second contest offered through Students with Solutions. This round is presented in partnership with Clarisonic, which is providing its MIA 1 sonic facial cleansing devices as awards.
