Kent State Bateman Team Launches "Bullies to Buddies" Campaign

PRSSA Bateman team gold has launched the Bullies to Buddies campaign that will continue throughout the month of February on behalf of this year’s national PRSSA Bateman competition.

The goal of the Bullies to Buddies campaign is to increase awareness about the impact of youth bullying and to educate middle school students, their parents, faculty and other key audiences at Stanton Middle School in Kent, Ohio about steps they can take to prevent bullying.

Last week, team gold began implementation of the campaign by hosting a Kick Off event during the students lunch period. Team gold introduced themselves and the campaign while also distributing blue anti-bullying ribbons to students and faculty for them to wear.

Team gold also began one of its four anti-bullying activities called Kindness Week with an activity that encouraged students to create Valentine’s Day-inspired notes that included positive anti-bullying messages.

Team Gold consists of: Bethany Johnson, Bobby Batyko, Cindy Deng, Megan Corder and Shannen Laur.

For more information about the campaign, contact any of the team members: Bethany ([email protected]); Bobby ([email protected]); Cindy ([email protected]); Megan ([email protected]); and Shannen ([email protected]).
