academy for character education

We have all kinds of special things planned on the Sean, Richie and Bethany Show, including a replay of some special kids throwing their support for the cause (musically)  on Bullying Awareness Week.

Albany County District Attorney David Soares and Dr. Phil Fusco from the Academy For Character Education at the Sage Colleges were special guests on this past edition of Capital Region Sunday to discuss a crucial societal problem: Bullying. They also have an incredible new "WORDS" initiative that they would like to introduce.  Hear the re-broadcast below

Leave it to Mrs. Yager from Schoharie Elementary to come through when I was looking for a class to create a anti-bullying song to kick off our Anti Bullying Week on the Sean, Richie and Bethany Show.   Much appreciated – and you should hear the result!

It's always good to reinforce good character traits with kids.  This little appearance was no exception. It means a lot that they keep having me back at Griswold Heights Community Center in Troy.  Want to hear their song?  I knew you would!

This might be the perfect anti bullying anthem.  It's creative, short and to the point.  Listen closely to the brilliant lyrics created by the kids from Stillwater Elementary.

This might need a little explanation, but it's worth it if someone close to you has been the subject of bullying.

Always a rewarding experience visiting the Griswold Heights Community Center in association with the Troy Housing Authority and the Academy for Character Education.  These kids love this country and they are ready to sing about it!

I had a fantastic time once again with Mrs. Burns and Mrs Wilcox at the Carroll Hill Elementary School.  These kids wrote a song parody in record time!

Are you an educator, or parent looking to learn more about school safety and students' mental health?  In these trying times, you need an advocate in that area.  Sage College to the rescue again.

Well, it think it's safe to say we are batting a thousand when we work together at Schoharie Elementary School.  I always seem to walk away with a hit song on my recording device, conceived and written by some very creative elementary students.   That's MY kind of school!!

I've been yelled at by several people close to me for not mentioning this, but I didn't want to come off as "patting myself on the back." I am really proud of it, and humbled by it, so I guess it's time. Please excuse me for bragging….

Why?  Can someone tell me WHY bullying has continued in such a big way?  When you hear this boy's story, it will stop you in your tracks.
