Charter Shines a Light on Girl Bullying

Families at Cherokee Charter Academy in Canton had a special opportunity to learn more about the problem of girl bullying through on-campus screenings of the award-winning film, “Finding Kind.”   Finding Kind is a conversation with women & girls across the country, created by filmmakers Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson. 

CCA 6th graders used the movie as the springboard for a day dedicated to anti-bullying discussions, team building activities and encouraging kindness.   

Middle school students also created and shared hearts to encourage kindness & respect through their “Have Some HeART’ project.
