No Name Calling Week Grant Applications AvailableDuring the week of January 21-25, 2008, hundreds of middle schools from across the country will take part in educational activities aimed at ending name-calling and verbal bullying of all kinds. No Name-Calling Week draws national attention to the problem of name-calling in schools and provides students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their schools.
