EPISD 1st Annual Anti-Bullying Week

This upcoming school year, Eagle Pass Independent School District will be hosting its first annual Anti-Bullying Week the week of April 24th – 28th, 2017. The purpose of this week is to raise awareness of the dangers that bullying can do to our students. Thanks to a partnership with CC Winn High School Student Council, EPISD will now adopt Winn’s “IMPACT Week”.

IMPACT Week celebrates the awareness of gender tolerance, suicide prevention, and physical/cyber bullying. Programs like these are helping move EPISD to the fore-front of education systems by creating thoughtful and empathetic students who can work harmoniously together without fear of judgment. IMPACT Week will be a spirit week with dress up days and a video challenge that will help promote the anti-bullying movement. Also, as an added bonus jeans will be allowed to be worn district-wide Wednesday - Friday if you participate in this event. Each campus is asked to create a short video featuring their students participating in IMPACT Week and adding their very own flair to the concept. For more ideas, please view Winn’s IMPACT Week video on EPISD’s YouTube page.
