Thank you to all who participated!

Next round to open Fall 2021.

Students with Solutions is a project designed for educators to engage their students around bullying prevention. Through the project, students will watch the video below, followed by handout review, and respond to the content in their own creative way through art, writing, graphics, or videos for the chance to win prizes for their school!

How it Works

  • SHARE the “Students with Solutions” video with your students.
  • READ the handout with information on what it means to be intentional with acts of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
  • CREATE a drawing, design graphics, take photographs, write poetry, or even film videos responding to the themes within the video and the student handout. The content can come from real-life examples or ideas about how to be more intentional in your actions.
  • SUBMIT your images, writing, or videos to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center either by emailing [email protected] or to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, 8161 Normandale Blvd., Bloomington, MN 55437.
    Note: If you would prefer to keep your originals, feel free to scan or take a picture of the image and email.
