Anti-Bullying Workshop to be Held Wednesday

Editor's Note: The following is a news release issued by the .

“Learn How to Stop Bullying,” is the topic of a free workshop to be held Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. at Lawrence High School, sponsored by the Character Team at Lawrenceville Elementary School and funded by a grant from the Lawrence Township Education Foundation.

The workshop will give parents of Lawrence Township students the knowledge they need to work as partners with school personnel to help identify and stop bullying. The topic is very timely, since New Jersey’s Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights went into effect on Sept. 1.

The workshop’s keynote address will be presented by Lynne Azarchi, Executive Director of the Kidsbridge Tolerance Museum, an interactive museum for youth that focuses on name-calling, stereotypes, prejudice, self-esteem and sensitivity to differences.

Free registration for the “Learn How to Stop Bullying” workshop can be completed online at www.LTEFbullying.eventbrite.com or by calling the LTEF office at (609) 219-0340.

Free childcare will be available at Lawrence High School during the workshop.

The Lawrence Township Education Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to enhancing educational opportunities for Lawrence Township public school students; it has funded over 450 programs in the Lawrence schools since 1992.
