Students Honored in Beverly Hills for Anti-Bullying Videos
Local students and some from as far away as Acton created compelling videos to expose how everyone plays a role in bullying and how it can be prevented.
As part of Beverly Hills' Embrace Civility program, the City Council and Human Relations Commission recognized several Beverly Hills students for their highly successful and compelling bullying prevention videos, which all placed high in the city's public service announcement competition.
The commission held a Bullying Prevention video competition, with a prompt "Everyone plays a role in bullying…The bully, the bullied and the bystander or… The person who makes a difference! What’s your take?"
Participants came from many of the local schools and as far away as the High Desert Middle School in Acton California.
