Peaceful Schools of the Fox ValleyBullying Destroys Young Lives |
In 2002, the Community Foundation launched Peaceful Schools of the Fox Valley, an anti-bullying program that now is part of the curriculum of several local elementary schools. In recent years, the Dunham Fund and the Juvenile Protective Association have joined in the support of this program. We continue to fund Peaceful Schools of the Fox Valley each year as a way to protect the children in our communities from the tragedies that result from bullying. We also have established the Peaceful Schools of the Fox Valley Fund that accepts contributions from citizens who wish to make a difference in the lives of our youth.
