"UTARD" Part 2

Hey STANDers! Just wanna say thanks to everyone who helped us show those guys we mean business. Normally, STAND denounces retaliation, but in this case we won't STAND for activity like this. We really appreciate it when people who aren't even in STAND want to help the community by doing things like these. Just about everyone in the school signed: 6th, 7th and 8th grade and teachers too! 

Keep on STANDing, everyone!

"UTARD"

Hello STANDers. Today, we found out that the mini-contracts you all signed months ago that we spelled the word STAND with were rearranged into the word "UTARD". We are all upset by this, and it isn't acceptable.
We will not STAND for it. We'll show those bullies!

Groups

STAND is trying out a new idea on the web. We've created a group on Google Groups where we or anyone else can post an idea, feedback or just anything relevant to STAND. It's a great and easy way for us to communicate to with you STANDers. You can check it out and join here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/standupday

We've also added a box on our sidebar so you can subscribe to the group with ease.
We'd love to hear from you! You can email us at standupday@googlegroups.com
Then your comment will be on our group!

Also, you may have noticed that we have a new button that says +1, next to the share buttons. Clicking this is like recommending this to your friends. For more info, visit http://www.google.com/+1/button/

Poll #3 Results & Catch-up

Hey STANDers! You've probably been thinking: "Whatever happened to STAND?". Well, we're back! We've been conflicted by our school musical, but now that it's over, we can focus on our work. And now, of course, the results for our poll:


After you've been bullied, who would you talk to?


Parent

Brother or sister
  0 (0%)
Teacher
  1 (16%)
 
School guidance counselor
  1 (16%)
 
Friend
  0 (0%)
Psychiatrist
  1 (16%)


Parent was the most popular answer, with teacher, counselor and friend tied for 2nd.

Our new poll will be posted very soon. Also, we'll be getting new shirts for STAND, so look out for those soon!

Keep STANDing up to bullies!

Thank you!

Today, representatives from the STAND group went into some of the classrooms at our school and gave out small colorful papers for students to sign saying they will STAND up to negativity and disrespect. A lot of people signed, and we took the signed paper and put them on windows spelling out "STAND!". Thanks to all who chose to support us! Pictures to come.
