In this new video geared toward elementary schools, students from Grimmer Elementary School in Fremont, CA explore the impact of bullying and ways to be an upstander.

After intermediate students share personal experiences, they decide to take action and invent the "Leaving a Positive Footprint" activity, where students paint blue fooprints with positive messages "walking" though their campus. Later, they work with first grade buddies to discuss bullying and speaking up, and together they make paper footprint cut-outs and create their own Upstander messages to post around the school.
