SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

 

“The students at Cypress Ranch High School united to create the Lip Dub video for the NO BULL Challenge, and that really was just the beginning of student body union. We have seen barriers broken down and students shine with the encouragement of being themselves.” – Jill H. English, English I/Student Council Sponsor, Cypress Ranch High School, Cypress, TX

 

“This year our school had two suicides. We were concerned about bullying and self esteem issues and wanted the students to realize ways that they can fight bullying without fighting one another. I heard about the NO BULL Challenge, and knew it would be an excellent opportunity for my students to get involved and they were excited! They worked hard and felt that they were doing something productive to give back to the classmates they lost, and to prevent that from happening in the future.” – Allison Gable, Math Teacher, R.B Stall High School, North Charleston, SC

 

“The NO BULL Challenge has hit hard with the students. Bullying has become a hot-button issue in our nation’s schools over the past few years. For the broadcast students to take up this cause and get the message out to the masses has been a wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much for what you are all doing to help the silent majority have a voice.” – Michael Clark, Broadcast Journalism Teacher, Coronado High School, Henderson, NV

 

“I really appreciate what NO BULL is doing. As a teacher I see the results, tears, anger, and depression of cyberbullying. Many kids started to watch the videos that the contest has, and many students voted for their pick. I am seeing more students trying to stand up against the bully.” – Becky Andrews, District Librarian, Central Decatur Schools, Decatur, IA

 

“Contests like the Great American NO BULL Challenge enable students to redirect their attention to the heart of the issue and hopefully grasp the importance of how their actions affect other people around them. They are great motivators to get students thinking, working together, and to realize that there is something to be said about having ambition.” – Emily Grau, District Media Director, Madison High School, Madison, OH

 

“I can’t even begin to explain what the NO BULL experience has meant to the students, and to us, the teachers. The climate of our sixth grade has completely changed. We are not having near as many referrals or suspensions. It continues to be a reminder of the problem and how we are helping to solve it. The video has done all this! I am thrilled to have been a part of this process and am super, super proud of my 6th grade students!” – Kari Millan, Language Arts Teacher, Bell Elementary School, Tulsa, OK

 

“Bullying was becoming a true problem from 4-H specialists and programs. The Great American NO BULL Challenge is hands down one of the most worthwhile and rewarding video contests that my class and students have ever been a part of.” – Shannon Wade Farrell, 4-H Agent, Mt. Olivet, KY

 

“During the production phase of my student’s video, we had a tragic incident at a high school not far from ours. In Chardon, OH, a young gunman barged into the high school and killed three students. Bullying was alleged to be a factor contributing to the young man’s anger. As my class discussed the horrifying events of that day, it was apparent to me that my students were very much moved by the entire
story. I believe they were motivated to try to do what they could with their video to stop something like that from ever happening
again.” – Frank Wiewandt, Photo/Video Instructor, Medina County Career Center, Medina, OH
