Be an UpStander, not a bystander!
Join us on February 28, for a special Meet the Author event with Craven Smith II! There will be books available for signing, meaningful conversations on kindness & bullying awareness, light refreshments, and a spa bus!
Did we say “Spa Bus”? Yes we did! The Crown Me Pretty Mobile Spa Bus will be onsite for a fun, confidence-boosting experience for kids.
This event also kicks off a monthly series of anti-bullying workshops, designed to empower kids, families, and our community to stand up and make a difference. Each participant who completes all five workshops will receive a certificate of completion, one free book of their choice from the “Words Hurt Too!” series (limited to one book per family), and a gift bag filled with bully awareness resources.
