    Mars Area School District (Mars, Pa.) has been working diligently over the past few years to discuss bullying and bullying behaviors with our students (K-12). Since January 2012, a group of Mars Area High School
    (Mars, Pa.) sophomores has been writing and producing a biweekly video series that uses humor to
    present positive messages about bullying in line with the District’s “Planet
    Peace” anti-bullying initiative. Room 133, a spoof on The
    Office, has addressed topics such as physical and verbal bullying,
    cyberbullying, rumors, sexting and more.

    These can be difficult and sometimes
    uncomfortable topics to discuss with high school-level students; however, when
    the message is presented with humor, students are more likely to listen and
    understand. Each video is filmed and edited by the students and after receiving
    administrative approval is broadcast at the school before being uploaded to
    YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/Room133show?ob=0&feature=results_main). The series has evolved from a student-centered project to a
    phenomenon at Mars Area High School with every student wanting to be a part of
    the show. 

    Questions regarding Room 133 may be directed to Erin Sloane, Mars Area High School art teacher and Room 133 sponsor, at (724) 625-1518 or at esloane@marsk12.org. Thank you.

    I have a question for Stacie or Carolyn…  does the department of education provide any funding to schools that want to start these kinds of programs?  our school was told that we could have money if we asked, but not for bullying programs? why would that be?
