"Let Kindness fuel Kindness" A message from the Anti Bullying Committee

A message from the Anti Bullying Committee:

Welcome back

The antibullying committee has reunited over the past months to revise and refocus the purpose of it. We would like to inform the JFK community of the alignment we’ve written so we can practice upon it.

At JFK, the ABC Anti Bullying committee is committed to fostering a school environment where honesty, responsibility and respect thrive. The committee's mission is to proactively create beauty in our school community by preventing bullying behaviors and achieving the extraordinary by nurturing a culture of kindness and inclusion. 

Core Values within the ABC committee

  • Honesty: We pledge to be transparent in our efforts to address bullying, ensuring open and honest communication with all stakeholders.
  • Responsibility: We take responsibility for the wellbeing of the students, staff, and the school community, actively working to prevent bullying through education and intervention.
  • Respect: We promote a culture of respect, valuing the unique qualities and perspectives of each individual within the diverse community.

Bullying is demonstrated in actions, lack of actions, misused and hurtful words, written, oral or online. It affects millions of lives and can leave people feeling hopeless. That’s why this year the anti bullying world wide motto is “Make a noise about bullying”. When we raise our brave voice, when someone else hears our loud jaguar roar we are challenged therefore we are changing. 

Too often, we are silent when we see bullying take place, silent about the hurt bullying causes, and silent when we hear bullying dismissed as ‘just banter’.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Of course, we won’t like everyone and we don’t always agree, but we can choose respect and unity.

This Anti-Bullying Week let’s come together to have discussions about what bullying means to us, how banter can turn into something more hurtful, and what we can do to stop bullying. Together, we can make a difference and take a stand against bullying.

From the playground to our classroom, and from our phones to our homes, let’s make a noise about bullying.

Remember if you are aware of bullying behavior, you can report anonymously using our JFK web page or you can come directly to us, the more information we have the better we can act.

We will promote our theme “Make noise about bullying” during the school year, and we will be celebrating our anti-bullying week on November 13 – 17.  In the coming weeks we will be sending you more information on how you can help us spread the word and help make bullying something that is not acceptable in our school!

We will be sending more information on how you can support the community.

If you have any ideas we invite you to share them with us. You can contact us by writing an email to abcteam@jfk.edu.mx

Let Kindness fuel Kindness

Together we can make the difference

The ABC Team

NHS, academic excellence, love for service, leadership and character

National Honor Society (NHS) was founded in the United States in 1921, hoping to create an organization that recognized and encouraged young people with four main purposes. “Create enthusiasm for academic achievement, stimulate the desire to serve, promote leadership, and develop character in students.” Now, after 102 years, NHS has become a prestigious, high-ranking organization among administrators, teachers, students, parents and residents of school communities. Its reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment by everyone involved. Through service activities, NHS members must maintain and expand the qualities for which they were chosen. Candidates were selected by a faculty council and now all must respect the ideals and values ​​of NHS to maintain membership status and graduate with honours. The John F.
