San Diego Unified Elementary School Recognized for Their Anti-Bullying Efforts
Hancock Elementary School honored by WWE bullying prevention initiative


SAN DIEGO (December 5, 2017) – On Tuesday morning the World Wrestling Entertainment organization (WWE), honored the students and staff at Hancock Elementary School for their anti-bullying efforts with a special school-wide assembly featuring their WWE Superstars. Students participated in the "BE a STAR" assembly, a part of the WWE's bullying prevention initiative founded in 2011.

The WWE recognizes specific schools nationwide for their extraordinary efforts in promoting positive social interaction among peers and encouraging students to show tolerance and treat others with respect.

Today's recognition of Hancock Elementary is a great example of how the districts programs and continued efforts to end harassment are making great progress in the fight against bullying. San Diego Unified is committed to providing all students and staff with a safe learning environment where everyone is treated with respect. This year, in an effort to strengthen the fight against bullying the district partnered with the Anti-Defamation League and implemented their "No Place for Hate" campaign within all San Diego Unified schools.

The San Diego Unified School District is proud to recognize the efforts made by staff, students and families to improve our community with leadership and values that will help our children thrive.
