On Wednesday, March 25, Custer School Students participated in another stage of the Olweus Bully Prevention Program. This stage focused on team building exercises. The students did several different stations, where they performed tasks as a group.

        “I had a student last year who came to me and talked to me about his drug use. He wanted an out. In the process of us talking about his drug problem he told me that the reason he started drugs was because he was bullied in middle school. He turned to drugs to cope. That is just one testimonial that we have received since we started this program,” Joel Tucker, dean of students said as he talked about the Olweus Bully Program.
