Hartland Middle School is in first year of implementing Sprigeo for reporting bullying concerns at school.
Fenton has fought bullying through the Trust Theater Ensemble performance of the Bullycide Project and Community Parent's 'Chasing Bullying And Depression' Program.

Paige Lange dreaded the moment. The 20-year-old Fenton resident dreaded the reaction. And she dreaded the words, but she said them anyway. “I’m not the one who pulled the trigger, you are.” Lange is not a bully, but she plays one on stage. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she said. The 20-year-old Fenton resident plays the role as part of the Bullycide Project, a play performed by the Fenton-based Trust Theatre Ensemble put together by Fenton High School theater teacher Lori Thompson. Some of the group’s performance will be featured on CBS in a 48 Hours special, “Bullying: Words CAN Kill,” at 8 p.m. Friday.
