Fifth graders put together their own videos to share with the younger children.

School leaders say the message means more coming from their peers.

“The fifth graders are the role models of the school and all the younger kids look up to them,” said Emily Mottley, school counselor. “You shouldn’t just walk away, you should go and help the person even if you don’t know them,” said fifth-grader, Kyndle Paxton.

Along with the anti-bullying videos, students also created a unity tree where kids who show kindness are recognized.
