Valley View District Launches Bully Reporting System
The Sprigeo program allows students to report incidents of bullying anonymously by using a Web site.
The following article was submitted by Valley View School District 365U:
Every student in Valley View Community Unit School District 365U will soon be able to report a bullying incident through an anonymous internet-based system called Sprigeo.
Four VVSD schools piloted Sprigeo as an anonymous bullying reporting tool last spring with great success, recording dozens of reports. Administrators at Humphrey and Lukancic Middle Schools as well as Wood View and Beverly Skoff Elementary Schools were able to follow up on each and every report.
"Every seven minutes a child is bullied somewhere in this country," said VVSD Community Outreach Coordinator Michele Bochnak. "Valley View is taking this nationwide problem seriously but we need everyone's help."
The Nov. 1 launch of Sprigeo, which will be accessible through every school's website and through www.vvsd.org, is just one tool in the fight VVSD's Anti-Bullying Task Force has launched against bullying.
VVSD's Board of Education has adopted a strict anti-bullying policy which was mailed to every parent and is available by clicking the anti-bullying icon on the left side of the district website at www.vvsd.org.
In addition, every VVSD staff member has been trained on how to watch for signs of bullying not only in victims but also among bystanders and the victims themselves.

A high school in Appleton, Wisconsin tried an experiment under the enlightened guidance of their principal, LuAnn Coenen. She wanted to see if she could positively affect the fighting, weapons-carrying and general lack of focus and discipline in the school by changing the food the kids ate.
Vending machines were replaced with water coolers; hamburgers and French fries were taken off the menu and replaced with fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grain breads and a salad bar. With the departure of junk food, she also saw the departure of vandalism, litter and the need for police patrolling her hallways. The students were calm, socially engaged and focused on their schoolwork. Problems were minimal. And all Ms. Coenen did was change the menu!

Dr. Antonia Demas conducted a pilot program for youthful offenders at Bay Point School, a controlled residence for select male juvenile delinquents. Incorporating the principles of her curriculum, Demas' results were astounding: Grade point averages increased, athletic performance and strength improved, aggressive behavior declined, acne cleared, excess weight came down, and every single one of the participants reported general improvements in well-being. foodstudies.org
