Bullying

A good number of those reading this post have at some time been the target of a bully. Many readers have likely bullied others themselves. And I would venture a guess, that everyone has been a bystander when someone near you has been bullied. It's a prevalent problem in our country, and has been for some time.

St. Gerald School wants to eliminate this problem, so today our school hosted a wonderful program on bullying. Dr. Barbara Coloroso traveled to Omaha to be with us.

She's an internationally known speaker, educational consultant and author. She has taught at secondary and college levels, and infuses her presentations with humor and practical advise.

In the morning, she met with over 300 teachers, principals and administrators from the Archdiocese of Omaha. She spent the afternoon with St. Gerald School's staff, and in the evening hosted another presentation for the general public, especially for parents.

Thanks for your help, Barb! May God continuously bless your work.
