Letter to the Editor

School District 14 is no place for bullying

To the editor:

Hello, I am a student at Manitou Springs School District 14 and I have been very disappointed at the school recently. Over the past couple months, I have noticed an increase in bullying. I myself have been bullied, and a friend of mine as well.

I come to this district because it is a fun and safe place to be, but recently I feel that is not happening.

I see students from kindergarten to 12th grade get this treatment, and it is not OK. Manitou students should not treat their peers — or anybody — like this. Manitou is a great town, and has a wonderful district, but I want it to feel great.

All in all, MSSD 14 should be a safe place for anybody, and it is not. I want to see the school board and principals work together to make this stop.

District 14 student
