Stop the bullying is a parent night session that is an educational, interactive workshop that includes a power point, real life success stories, ventriloquism and valuable strategies to prevent and reduces school bullying, cyber bullying and aggressive student behavior. Parents will gain the knowledge of how to work as a school community to prevent and stop the bullying.

Each mini group will offer up suggestions and plans to construct bully prevention techniques that can be easily implemented both at school and a home.

Stop the bullying parents' night program received high marks at the Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principals Association 2005 State Conference.

Dear Richard,

On behalf of the Goodrich Area Schools Parent to Parent Group, we would
like to thank you. The programs you offered in our schools were
phenomenal. The information you provide is exactly the type of message
we, as parents of special needs children, are trying to spread to the
community. You've found an awesome way to do that and we were thrilled
to have you here this past March.

Sincerely,

Kristen K, Member of Parent to Parent
