Anti-Bullying Day

Anti-Bullying Day falls on Sunday, Nov. 8, but we'll celebrate it here at Austurbæjarskóli on Friday, Nov. 6. The day reminds us how vital it is for everyone to feel they belong in their community and are valued for who they are. At Austurbæjarskóli, we celebrate diversity and what makes each child unique. To mark Anti-Bullying Day, students at Austurbæjarskóli will create a one-of-a-kind Austó Student Garden. Each student will make a flower to represent who they are. Just as the flowers in the garden vary in color, shape and size, each of us is unique and valuable in our own way.

 

On Thursday, Nov. 12, we'll welcome special guest Páll Óskar, who will join us to sing his song about how we're all unique flowers. The song's message reflects the purpose of the day. There's room for every flower in our garden, just as there's room for everyone at our school. Treating one another with respect, warmth and friendship is essential so everyone can thrive.

Together, we're building a school where everyone is welcome, everyone matters and everyone has a chance to bloom. 🌼🌸🌻🌷
