In East Brunswick, it is a district wide goal to use a more positive approach, by using the terms, “target” and “victim,” rather than focus on the word bully. We were more than happy to adjust our program so that we incorporated these terms, as well. The district was thrilled, as were the students and teachers.
We were able to meet PTO representatives and school officials who praised our program, stating that it was, “Awesome!” and “taught simple but pertinent strategies.”
During our program, a young Kindergarten student replied with a profound statement, showing she is wise beyond her young five years. She raised her hand and proudly stated, “ When people need help, you just help them!”
This profound, yet simple statement reminds us of WHY we need to be BETTER THAN THAT™ and the importance of wearing the cape!
Should you wish to bring our program to a school near you, or to donate a Hero Assembly to an underprivileged school, please email leighann@wearthecapekids.com or click here.
