Seaside Rotary hands out dictionaries to every fourth- grader inscribed with their names, Russell said. “We help host the all-night grad party for seniors each year, we offer scholarships and we have the Rotary youth exchange.” Rotary shares the organi- zation’s “four-way test” with ifth-graders, guiding ethical principles of service and good- will, she added. The school district’s own bullying prevention program is regularly discussed at monthly assemblies, reminding students what to say and do should they witness someone being bul- lied, or if they are victims of bullying. The school’s partnership with Rotary began at a Peace Builders brainstorming session earlier in the school year. Gaps in the anti-bullying program became apparent. “The kids at school had the oversight of staff to help pre- vent bullying, but what about those kids walking to and from Submitted Photo Rotary Peace Builders co-chairs Veronica Russell and Alan Evans with Chief Dave Ham; front row, students from Sea- side School District: Kayla Sandoval, Samantha Evans. school, riding a bike to an event, or to a friend’s house on a week- end?” Russell said. “There was nothing in place to provide pro- tection away from school, so we decided to look to our business community.” This resulted in the creation of bully-free zones around town where shop owners could be on the lookout and where bullying would not tolerated. Russell said dozens of businesses expressed interest in helping out, so the Peace Builders committee cre- ated a simple set of rules and a window sticker. They reached out to Seaside Police Chief Dave Ham for feedback. “School-age kids are our most vulnerable citizens,” Rus- sell said. “We hope these safe zones offer a haven for kids for those in-between times when they’re not at school or at home.” “Our goal is to create a net- work of safe zones, but also to make all of Seaside a bully-free community,” Evans said. Russell and Evans share something in common giving them the inside track on what it’s like to be bullied. “We were both redheaded, freckle-faced kids growing up in the 1970s when there were no bullying prevention programs in place,” Russell said. “We were both bullied and know how that feels.” She said the zones are meant to serve as places of tempo- rary reprieve, where children can feel safe from being bul- lied. Through the Seaside Police Department’s tracking system, the department will be able to get a sense of who is being bul- lied, where it happens and who is doing the bullying. For more information about the Bully-Free zones, contact Russell at veronicarussell@ gmail.com or Evans at a.ev- ans@helpinghandsreentry.org. Seaside Masons award bikes to young readers The Daily Astorian GEARHART — Ever- green Masonic Lodge in Seaside and Maple Chapter Order of Eastern Star spon- sor the Bikes For Books pro- gram to encourage elemen- tary school children to read books. The program is aimed at third, fourth and ifth grad- ers in the Seaside School District. During the month of May, each time a student read a book and reported on it, he or she got to enter their name for a drawing. At a special awards assembly held at Gearhart Elementary School on June 16, the name of one boy and one girl was drawn to be the winner of a new bicycle. The boy was Anthony Garcia, and the girl was Kaysi Ficker.
