October is School Safety Month
This year's school safety month theme was created by Arabella George, a senior at Wapakoneta High School and Apollo Career Center in Auglaize County. 

When asked about her design, she stated, “I designed this poster as a small testament to my younger self, I was picked on/bullied as a kid for a bunch of little things. The kids/teens that were supposed to be looking out for me, didn't. They watched me get picked on and let it slide, this poster is a promise to everyone in my life that if I see something that is less than kosher that I will stand up and speak up about it. No longer waiting by the sidelines seeing someone get hurt. I'm going to help them through it as I would have for myself. By not having someone or even myself speak up about the situation it took a huge toll on my mental health, I don't want to see anyone else go through that.”
