'Stomp Out Bullying' Message Marched Home at Schulte School

This year's theme for the Schulte School anti-bullying parade was "Stomp Out Bullying."

Students and their teachers held colorful signs with anti-bullying messages while they chanted, "Expect Respect" and "Stomp out bullying" with the Case High School cheerleaders while a South Shore Fire truck led a parade through the community.

Principal Rebecca Zahn said the parade is just a piece of the school's efforts to connect more with the community.

"We're the only public school in Sturtevant, and it's important to show our neighbors the good things going on here," she said.

Bullying is a problem at Schulte, Zahn added, so administrators introduced a full curriculum to help kids learn how to help their classmates.

"Most kids want to help, but they don't know how," she said. "We're teaching them the steps they can take to help other students who might be bullied."
