CLIMB Theater Visits St. John's
| Students in grades K-2 respond to "Bugs for Bullies" presentation. |
SJB students learned how they can help create a culture in which bullying is not accepted, via theatrical presentation visits from CLIMB Theater last week. Grades K-2 saw "Bugs for Bullies", grades 3-6 attended "The Bystander" (a play about cyber bullying) and our junior high students viewed "Lockdown". All three presentations presented age-appropriate messages about bullying and its effects, along with concrete measures students can take to deal with bullying and create a culture of respect where bullying is not tolerated.
