Be a STAR -Show Tolerance And Respect.
Many of you have been bullied, some have even bullied. You may feel alone, but many other people in this world have been bullied too, even WWE superstars and divas.
This website is listed at http://www.beastaralliance.org/.
Here you can take the Be a STAR pledge.
There are youtube videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeASTARAlliance
that you can watch.
For parents
The program is designed for students in grades 7-8, but can be managed to teach 4s, 5s and 6s and although the curriculum expectations are designed to meet USA standards, I am working on converting these to the Ontario curriculum.
The program is designed to meet Language Arts and Health and Physical Education expectations, but can be used for Social Studies as well.
The program is designed around the movie That's What I Am, which focuses on the protagonist Andy (played by Chase Ellison, no relation) who is making choices on how to stand up to bullies for himself and for friends.

In class we will watch clips from this film to build discussion on positive characteristics to create a safe environment for themselves and their peers.
