Produktbeschreibung
For the safety of all our children who have experienced bullying, violence, and abuse, it is imperative that society take a stand. Dr. Yushonda Midgette's hope is that kindergarten through middle school students will use her book to help them express themselves through journaling, dance therapy, and music to enhance their self-esteem, and to deal with social-emotional and mental health issues that may arise. This important and timely book is written for parents, teachers, school administrators, and community leaders to use in taking a stand for school safety, and against guns, violence, and bullying on behalf of our school-aged children who have been victims. It is vital that affected students know they are not alone. It is imperative that educators, coaches, and parents of both mainstream and special needs children ages 3-12 implement safety initiatives and bullying interventions for the wellbeing of all our kids. This book includes a lesson plan that teachers can use in their classes along with music to convey a positive message of hope for our children.

Her vision for the organization was birthed from the Sandy Hook School Massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. She felt compelled to organize a dance troop, and she wrote a music album entitled Keeping Kids Safe. The organization was designed to advocate for children affected by violence and bullying. The Keeping Kids Safe in School dance troop has been featured on the front page of the Local/State Star newspaper, on WWAY TV 3 Extraordinary People Next Door, Azalea Festival parades, and the Brunswick Beacon, just to name a few.
