Bullying Assembly!

On Friday, we had a bullying assembly. We had some guests over to do a presentation about bullying in the cafe. This assembly was for EVERYONE in the school. And when i say everyone, i mean that we needed to fit ALL the eighth graders, and ALL the seventh graders, in one cafe. That was quite a challenge. But us leadership students needed to make it happen. So the first thing that we needed to do was to get in partners. I was partnered with Heighlee. Then, we needed to get all the eighth graders in first, so that they could sit in the back of the cafe. Each pair needed to find a class, and lead them to where they needed to go. If possible, we needed to make sure one homeroom could fit on one long side of the tables. We needed everyone to scoot down so that we had enough space. It was a challenge though, because some of the eighth graders wouldn't listen. Some didn't want to sit by someone, and others just didn't want to scoot down at all! That's what made things really frustrating. And then came down the seventh graders! That caused a lot more chaos because there were WAY more students on the campus now. And some of the seventh grade teachers were talking to me and Heighlee telling us to let them in first. But we couldn't pay attention with all this chaos around us! Another problem was that we couldn't really fit everyone in the cafe. Everyone was smashed by each other, but somehow, we finally figured out a way for everyone to fit. THEN, the assembly started. We sat outside, trying to listen to the assembly as well. Then, it was time for this thing called Role Play. Mr. Ing picked the students on probation, and a couple of other students to do, sort of like a play in front of the school. The eighth graders were the bullies and the seventh graders were the kids who were getting bullied. Shaela was the main bully, and it was funny to see her bully the seventh graders, because she is really nice to everyone. It was also interesting because everything was improvised. They didn't really have that much time to practice, so they just made everything up, on the top of their heads, right on stage. When the assembly finished, everyone came out, and we stayed to the side. Because of the assembly, there was a different schedule for that day. The bell rang and everyone thought that school was done, when it wasn't. We still had 10 minutes left of school, but everyone still left. That was also another big problem. But overall, we had a really tough day that day, but at least we survived throughout it.(:
