A Las Vegas school was honored Wednesday for its efforts to end bullying on its campus.

Southwest Career and Technical Academy won the KLUC Flip the Script School Takeover contest. The school won because it had the highest number of voters and pledges to combat bullying.

The students were surprised by the announcement. For winning the contest, the students will get an exclusive live concert by the band Hot Chelle Rae.

Flip the Script is an effort around the state to draw attention to the problem of bullying and the impact it can have on young people. 

A Las Vegas school celebrated 50 years of serving the Las Vegas valley by spelling out its initials in children.

The Las Vegas Day School had students line up to spell out “LVDS”. The picture replicates a picture taken in the 1980s when there were only 200 students at the school. Now, there are more than 900 students, with a staff of 150. 

Students from Wright Elementary School earned enough points in the annual Coaches Challenge to get a visit from two head coaches.

The Coaches Challenge program encourages students to each healthy and be part of physical activity by doing that they earn points. The schools with the most points get a visit from UNLV coaches. The fifth-graders at Wright Elementary School and third-graders at Nate Mack Elementary earned the most points and will get a visit on Tuesday from UNLV's new head Basketball Coach Dave Rice and the head women's Soccer coach Jennifer Klein.

“We continue to see high rates of obesity among children and to combat this, it is so important to encourage children to create good, healthy habits that will carry through their entire lives. By adopting good habits now they will be able to live active and full lives,” said Coach Rice.
