| CLIMB Theatre, a non-profit traveling theatre troupe
from Minneapolis/St. Paul, travels to schools around the country addressing
the topic of bullying prevention. Each year CLIMB performs our plays
and interactive classes for over 450,000 students in grades K-12.
CLIMB Theatre¹s plays and classes are research-based, and responsibly
written to achieve specific educational objectives.
CLIMB's program significantly increase a student's knowledge
about bullying and how to best handle it. In addition, after CLIMB programming,
students are more likely, (when addressing someone who was bullying them),
to use direct eye contact, a confident posture, and a strong voice.
Our programs are not only effective but also entertaining - that's what
makes CLIME so effective.

| Students Hold the Key to School Safety - Students
see, hear and know things adults don’t, and can intervene to stop mistreatment
in ways adults can’t. Students are both the primary aggressors and
primary targets of mistreatment in schools. Students determine the
norms of campus culture, while adults set the rules, and students are more
likely to talk with their peers than with adults.
The Safe School Ambassadors program
is research-based and field-tested, with an unassailable logic model.
The Safe School Ambassadors program draws upon social change theory, which
states that empowering the most influential students who are in the best
position to effect social change is the best way to change social norms.
Student Ambassadors are taught to recognize all forms of mistreatment and
to remedy the situations with high-level intervention techniques including
nonviolent communication skills.

Inspired by actual events, Mary
Finds a Friend is a heartwarming story about a fascinating
friendship between a yearling moose, named Mary, and a grandmother Welch
Cob horse, named Little Bit.
Using Mary
Finds a Friend at the elementary level is the very best corrective
action tool available for the anti-bullying crusade. This methodology
attacks the root cause of the problem early on and precludes its growth.
Like any good parable, the story holds a powerful message, yet it is not
forced or offending, driving home the importance of compassion, friendship,
and caring about others.
Contact the author, Robert R. Skye, at rjskye@comcast.net,
for more information about using, Mary Finds a Friend in your classroom. |

What effect is bullying
having on your students?
Each year, we are faced with a growing number of cases
involving Bullying. Experts say that many cases are never even reported
because students do not feel comfortable to share their feelings on this
subject.
RRT has joined with education experts to create a bullying
awareness module directed toward intermediate/middle school students.
If you'd like a full demonstration of the training in
its entirety inside our RightTrack® Learning Management System,

"Breaking the Code of silence through Anonymous Communication"
The U.S. Secret Service and Dept. of Education’s Threat
Assessment in School Guide concluded that there is a pervasive sense
among students that telling grownups about bullying or that they or another
student is in pain, may violate an unwritten, but powerful “code of silence.”
In order to prevent this behavior schools should create a climate of safety
where a student has a reprisal-proof way to reach out to an adult.
>>
Schools around the country have been using a solution
called AnComm to build positive
connections between students and adults. The service, which one school
calls “The Stable, A Safe Place for a Mustang” is available to students
via their school website, for example, http://mhsweb.springbranchisd.com.
Visit our website, www.ancomm.com,
