The campaign has rolled out in several phases throughout the school year.

• In class workshops;
• Anti-bullying bracelets given out;
• Team building activities;
• Students and staff wore pyjamas to school to "Put Name Calling to Bed";

The campaign is an incredibly important student initiative that is supervised by the school counselor, Mrs. Kim Wolfe.

The video was such a success that it has become a nationwide resource on the STOP A BULLY website; a Canadian charity that educates students and teachers and assists victims report a bullying crime.
