Giving Kudos to the West Coast

A friend of mine sent this to me a while back.  Students and staff at Richmond Street School, in Los Angelos, say this every day.  And while some argue that using the term "bully" allows those who don't fit the traditional image/mold of one to disown responsbility for their hurtful actions - writing it off as mere "teasing," there is no argument about the word "friend."  If we simply teach friendship, rather than anti-bullying, it might make a difference.

I pledge to be no bully, I pledge to be your friend.
I pledge to make _____________ School a better school to attend.
Be kind to one another and use kind words instead of threats,
be positive, be helpful and we can all be friends.
