Hutchinson Middle School students will learn about the three R’s of anti-bullying during assemblies on Sept. 26.

Joe Coles, consultant from Cimarron, will present to HMS-7 at 8:10 a.m., and 9:30 a.m., and to HMS-8 at 12:30 and 1:50 p.m.

Because some of the bullying issues differ between the genders, Coles will meet with boys and girls in separate sessions on Sept. 26.

The assemblies will focus on three R’s related to bullying – recognize, respond and relationships.

Students will be taught to recognize bullying behavior, to respond appropriately to the behavior and to build healthy peer relationships.
