Manchester Middle School observed Violence Awareness Week in mid-October with a variety of activities. Daily announcements were made focusing on different types of bullying. During flex periods on Monday-Wednesday, an informational video about the Middle School Peer Mediation program was shown to students. On Thursday, the current Peer Mediators showed another video encouraging students to sign up for this year's mediation teams. On Friday, students used the information they learned to participate in a school-wide "Block Out School Violence" contest.

Pamphlets and information, as well as internet sites regarding violence awareness, are available through the Middle School Guidance Office.
