Kendallville, IN – On February 9th concerned parents and students are leading an effort to bring more awareness to the problem of bullying in Noble County. Local parent, Robyn Funk has partnered with the Noble Bully Project and Miss Limberlost, Vicki McKee, to bring awareness to this growing problem.

“I want to help our community understand the problem. I don’t want to be a parent that just sits and complains I want to help others.” says Funk.

Students and parents are encouraged to wear a blue shirt on February 9th to show support for the cause. You can even buy a special “The End of Bullying Begins with Me” shirt ($8.50) from Mr. B’s in Kendallville with profits from the shirts will go to the Noble Bully Project here in Noble County.

Not only are students encouraged to wear blue but they will also be encouraged to sign the PACER Center’s “The End of Bullying Begins with Me.” Some local schools will have copies at their school for students to sign. If you’d like to get a petition at your school please contact Robyn Funk (funkr@att.net). You can also sign the petition online at www.noblebullyproject.com.
