Another School Year, Really?

As we begin to wind down another school year, we are incredibly grateful for each of you and all the efforts, energy and resources extended to ensure that your schools are safe and bully-free. Thank you for how much you care!
At Soul Shoppe this year alone, through assemblies and workshops we reached and connected with over 73,000 elementary students throughout the United States. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your schools and your students.
Here are some of our favorite student quotes for the year:
“ . . .now about our heart. You see when you are mad or something our heart will have bricks so your heart won’t open. When you use the “I Message” heart is open.”
“This experience will last forever. Thank you all for Soul Shoppe, my family and friends – now live peacefully.”
“My name is Jessica and I’m a peacemaker. When it is my day for the peacemaker job, I take it seriously and don’t play around. I help people solve their problems so they could leave in peace.”
Thanks again to all the students and schools we had the opportunity to work with this year. To schedule assemblies for the fall 2011, please contact our office at 510/338-3231 or email support@soulshoppe.com
“An Acknowledgment of Wrongdoing”

The teens involved in bullying Phoebe Prince right before she committed suicide have acknowledged the harmful impact their behavior had on Phoebe. While this didn’t bring Phoebe back, it did bring some healing to her parents. The themes in this article are complex. What isn’t complex is the simple truth that bullying behavior doesn’t help any situation, and that acknowledgment and cleaning up after behaving badly is important, even when outcomes can’t be changed. There is always an element of healing with true acknowledgement.
It Doesn’t Have to Come to This

This article about Josie Ratley’s experience is an extreme case of bullying. Before it ever comes to physical harm, before it ever comes to criminal trials, bullying causes emotional and social pain for years and years, often starting in Elementary School. Prevention is the only long-reaching solution. That’s why Soul Shoppe focuses on going into the Elementary Schools and giving kids the tools they need to create healthy social/emotional habits, and to build healthy and happy relationships with one another from the beginning. Getting bullying prevention programs into schools at the time kids first start going to school could help prevent this kind of very serious violence later on.
