Yesterday our 5th graders had a surprise visit from World Pop Singer
Z LaLa. Using
Google Hangouts, students were able to listen to her anti-bullying message and hear her personal account of how difficult it was to watch her friends being bullied while she was a child. She urged students to stand up for others if they see bullying occur while also expressing the importance of telling a trusted adult about the bullying.
At the end, students had an opportunity to ask her questions. Most of them were curious about her singing career and where she lived. It was an exciting thing to be able to talk one-on-one with a celebrity!
A special thank you to Z LaLa for taking time from her schedule to share her experiences. Bullying impacts all of us regardless of geographic location, gender, or race.
