January 24-28, 2011, is NO NAME-CALLING WEEK, a now-annual event inspired by James Howe's 2003 novel, THE MISFITS. It's a week-long effort to encourage schools and communities to discuss ways to eliminate bullying. Learn more by clicking the link above. More than ever, we are learning how dangerous bullying can be to our youth. NNCW is a great resource for making a difference.
