The West End Academy, Performance Learning Center and Brown Middle School have decided to provide a safe and healthy environment where students feel free to learn. On Saturday, March 20, they will join forces to host the first Bullying Prevention and Gang Violence Awareness Rally in the West End community. A march will begin at Brown Middle at 8 a.m. and run through the West End community BeltLine and will end up at the park across from West End Academy. A program will feature representatives from the offices of Mayor Kasim Reed and City Councilman Caesar Mitchell.
They are inviting all churches, Boys and Girls Club, childcare and daycare centers, elementary schools and businesses to participate and support the event and effort. The rally is designed to help parents, children, youth, and neighbors recognize the importance of reducing and eradicating bullying in schools and neighborhoods.
The event will mark the foundational point to actively engage our children, youth, community leaders, school personnel, and business leaders in a joint venture; the two schools hope to accomplish building positive school environments, raise awareness of effects of bullying, student activities that address bullying and many other activities.
This event is for everyone; so for more information regarding this event, please contact Lisa Wilson or Rosie McCoy at (404) 755-7755.
