In honour of International Anti-Bullying Day, two schools came together to create a message about acceptance and challenge others to use social media as a positive tool. The Anti-bullying flashmob was 4 months in the making. It goes to show what two schools can do when we come together for a common theme - Acceptance and the use of Social Media to send this positive message. This is also a challenge to others out there to spread the anti-bullying message to others.
