The Monroe Women’s Junior Club recently visited the Walton County Boys & Girls Club to offer fall craft project class. During the crafting projects, they incorporated a bullying prevention program for Club members.
Club members had an opportunity to create craft projects, as well as goodie bags filled with tasty treats. The volunteers did an anti-bullying program with the members where they learned about the effects of bullying, how it can hurt people, and the steps they should take if they witness someone being bullied.
During this activity, Club members created a stress ball, made a flip book about bullying, and visited tables where they filled a bag with snacks of their choice.
“The bullying program was really good,”Camoria D., WCBGC Club member shared,“When bullying happens you are supposed to tell a teacher or say something about it. I didn’t know that 45 percent of people get bullied. I also loved the craft projects we made.”
Kristin Kennedy of the Monroe Junior Women’s Club shared, “This was so rewarding seeing the kids’ faces and the joy that was spread. I can't wait to do it again!”
“It’s so important that our young people learn the impact of our actions and how to be look out for one another,” Lynn E. Hill,WCBGC Club Director shared. “We are so grateful for the Monroe Junior Women’s Club for sharing such wisdom and teaching a wonderful class at the Club.”
