“Sticks and Stones: Cyberbullying”- October, 2010
On Wednesday, October 14, 2010 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, Attorney General Tom Corbett will facilitate a presentation of “Sticks and Stones: Cyberbullying” at the Montgomery County middle and high schools. “Sticks and Stones: Cyberbullying” was created by the Office of Attorney General to address the trend of online bullying. The program shares the emotional stories of two middle school students who were victimized by their own peers. Through education and awareness, the Attorney General hopes to stop the devastation caused by this growing epidemic.
Attorney General Corbett will be presenting live at Keith Valley Middle School in Hatboro-Horsham School District while the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit streams the live presentation to the other Montgomery County schools. Video streaming is available to a maximum of fifty (50) sites throughout the county. The first 50 registrants will be selected.
This is the official launch of the curriculum and we are proud that Attorney General Corbett has selected the Montgomery County Schools for this event. It is our belief that the real life example of Cyberbullying as delivered by the Attorney General’s office provides a teachable moment for our students. During this presentation, Attorney General Corbett will speak directly to the Montgomery County youth about understanding, recognizing, and reacting to Cyberbullying. Scenarios of unfortunate outcomes of Cyberbullying will be illustrated and depicted in emotional testimony.
