Photo Gallery: Schulte School's 'Be a Hero, Not a Bully' Parade

The whole school turned out in specially decorated Defender Masks with real-life heroes from South Shore Fire and the Sturtevant Police Departments for an anti-bullying parade.

Schulte Elementary School in Sturtevant has focused all year on what being a hero means. Part of that curriculum includes messages on being a friend and not being a bully.

Carrying signs that declared Schulte a bully-free zone and touting their hero status, students and teachers wore masks they'd decorated themselves.
