January 24 through January 28, 2011, was "
No Name-Calling Week" at Quail Valley Elementary School. Principal Amelia Perez said, "This is an annual week of educational activities aimed at ending name-calling of all kinds and providing schools with the tools and inspiration to launch an ongoing dialogue about ways to eliminate bullying in their communities."
On Friday, January 28, 2011 at 2 p.m., students, faculty and parents, with the help of music teacher Yvette Young-Scott, lined up in front of the school to spell out QVE-RESPECT, set to the legendary tune by recording artist Aretha Franklin. Thanks to PTO member, Michael Svatek, a helicopter will took an aerial photo of the formation. Mr. Svatek also provided the stage and sound
for the pep rally.

Student activities also include a pep rally, and students will hear from former professional football player Tyrone Smith, president of First and Goal, Inc. - Care and Share Mentoring Program. The students were so excited to have a former professional football player taking the time to speak to them. The way Mr. Smith approached the students was awesome! In his own way he was able to impact 630 students to listen and understand what he was saying. Sharing a few of his school experiences with friends not believing in him yet he held onto his dream of pursuing his career - to be professional football player. One sixth grader summed it up this way "Never give up on your dreams, keep going and believe in yourself".
This year's show of solidarity celebrates the school's No Place for Hate designation by the ADL Plains States organization. The Quail Valley Elementary counselor offers information to students to help prevent bullying and also provide information to parents about the school's anti-bullying policy.
