2016 Bullying Prevention and Online Media Safety

The Mustangs Youth Services Center coordinated Bullying Prevention and Online Media Safety presentations for the students at MCHS in the Month of November.  Scott Harvey with Speaking of Harvey out of Lexington, KY came and presented to over 500 MCHS students in an Assembly entitled “Iamsomeone.” Harvey’s presentations centered around personal responsibility and social media awareness.  He has an easy, story-telling way of connecting with students by making them laugh, cry and most importantly, think!  He uses his experience in law enforcement and teaching the D.A.R.E. program to movie his audience to action.

 

In conjunction, Officer Gretchen Morgan with the Paducah Police Department presented to students all week and provided information about the importance of online media safety, bullying, sexting on what to do and how to report it.  Students were engaged in interactive presentations on how our choices can effect us for the rest of our lives and the importance of being responsible with online media because the truth is, once you put it out there, it is forever.
