Brock Road Elementary is outlawing name-calling
Let’s all take a lesson from Brock Road Elementary this week.
The Spotsylvania elementary school is holding “No Name-Calling Week” today through Friday with the following daily activities to help children understand. This effort has been conducted around the country the past few years in recognition that – in contrast to the old saying about sticks and stones – words can hurt.

Here’s what the staff at Brock Road is doing this week.
No Name-Calling Week is celebrated every January around the country and is an effort to end name-calling.
