Our Boy/Girl twins were bullied for various reasons throughout their Elementary, Middle and High School careers. We read a lot on the subject, spoke with many, many parents and used our own “business-like” approach to solving the issue for our children.” This class will frame the difference in how Parents vs. School Administration see bullying in the school setting, then offer insights and proven strategies on how to work with the school Administration while protecting your child for the best possible outcome. 44858 Jan. 13 | Tue., 6-6:45 p.m. • Central Recreation Center • Free
