A few weeks ago, I returned to the Souderton Area School District to work with the kids at Indian Valley Middle School. Upon meeting this wonderfull group, I knew we were going to have a great time together. They were full of energy from the second I met them and seemed excited to get started. Rehearsals went really well and the kids all found the confidence needed to present such powerful words to their peers. OnFriday, they had three assemblies (one for each grade.) Each performance was better than the next! Since we didn’t have time to go back to classrooms for debriefing sessions, we conducted the debriefing sessions in the auditorium. We tried once breaking them into small groups throughout the space, but I didn’t feel that everyone was having a good opportunity to hear the necessary componants of the debriefing. For the second and third assemblies, we held one large group debriefing session. I led most of the question and answer session while pointing out specific tools the bystanders could use to intervene in a positive way. The comments and stories from the audience we so amazing and powerful giving everyone real insight into what it’s like to be bullied.
