For my Silver Award project, I decided to create pens with uplifting messages so that kids who suffer from a bully will hopefully feel better. To start, I contacted my local Elementary school and I asked if I could give a presentation to be 6th graders. Being in 7th grade, I noticed that bullying was a common problem at my middle school. So, I talked to the different 6th grade class and informed them of the bullying problem at the middle school. Once the presentation was over, I handed out pens with a piece of tape wrapped around them. I asked them to write one positive thing about themselves on the tape, and then asked them to share out. I got some great answers like unique, kind, friendly, and so much more!
The reason for this project was to make the 6th graders aware of the problem at hand so that when they moved up to middle school, they would help spread the word of kindness to hopefully stop the issue. Then once they became 8th graders they would pass the message on to the new 7th graders for them to teach the next group and so on. That’s what I did for my Silver Award project.
