Description: Recent news reports of bullies in the workplace and bullies in high school have ended in tragedy. But elementary educators believe that teaching children at a young age to deal with conflict can often change the way they deal with it later in life. At North Boulevard Elementary School in Pequannock Township, Yvette McBain (Morris County Teacher of the Year) has developed a peer mediation program whose theme is "A Bridge to Success," which includes the 1st through 3rd grade Peacemakers, and The 4th and 5th grade Heart Club peer mediators.
