CARLSBAD, Calif. - A North County school kicked off an innovative program Monday to help kids deal with bullying.

This week is "Kindness Week," where more than two million kids in 45 countries will learn why kindness matters.

At Jefferson Elementary School in Carlsbad, some students know what it feels like to be bullied.

Student Jackson Connolly said, "People call me short because I was smaller when I was younger."

"Since my mom was in the military, when I was in first grade, kids made fun that she wouldn't come back because she usually deploys," said student Donovan Ishop.

To stop the problem before it became a bigger issue, Carlsbad schools developed "The Great Kindness Challenge" in 2012.

SAN DIEGO — Two monkeys escaped Friday from the San Diego Zoo’s Ituri Forest when placed in the exhibit for the first time, but their freedom was short-lived, park officials said.

The 9- and 5-year-old wolf guenons were captured less than an hour after their escape, which forced the zoo to shoo visitors out of Ituri Forest for a time, zoo spokeswoman Christina Simmons said.

“They were observed by the animal care staff the entire time since they were just introduced to their new exhibit,” Simmons said.

She said primates have been placed in the Ituri Forest before without problems.

The moneys checked out OK in a veterinary examination and were put back in their usual home, where the pygmy hippos are located. A decision on their future housing will be made later, according to Simmons.
