Building Strong Kids: What Every Parent Needs to Know About
Bullying”
“We’ve sparked a national movement to stop
bullying that is transforming kids’ lives and changing a culture of bullying
into one of empathy and action.”
(http://www.thebullyproject.com/about_the_bully_project)
Bullying is real, it happens, and we’d like you to join local parents and
supporters of The Bully Project, Tanya O'Rourke and Mitchelle
Stephenson for an awesome night of discussion and empowerment on April 9th.
This is a great community event and parents from the Annapolis cluster
are all invited to attend! Topics
of discussion will include, understanding bullying in our community, social and
emotional learning, emotional intelligence, building a community of "up
standers", cyber-bullying, and what all parents need to know about
bullying in their child's everyday life. Our school counselors will be
there to share what schools are doing to create a safe environment. Find out how every parent and child can become
involved in this movement or just pick up some valuable social skills tips for
their kids. This will be a great night so “Save
the Date”!! Watching the award winning documentary "Bully"
ahead of time will prepare you for valuable discussion. This movie is available on Netflix
for free. Be warned, however, that it’s not appropriate for most
elementary students to handle the content in this movie.
Contact Tanya O'Rourke tanyakaarina@outlook.com with any questions about the Bully Project and Katie McCord, RKE School Counselor, kmccord@aacps.org with any questions about the event. We cannot wait to see you there!
