School Wide Anti-Bullying Program: (The Character Network) Broadcaster Jim Lord is the creator of this program. He is known for his audio presentations: ‘The Beginning of a Hero’, a very strong anti-bullying program distributed through the Character Network. His 2 minute audio presentations address heroes and bullies using stories that resonate with children. His message is, “A hero is someone who helps other people and a bully is a person who hurts other people. That’s why a bully is the opposite of a hero.” Mr. Lord’s message speaks to the IHM students always reminding them that they can choose to be a hero and help someone. His programs point out positive attitudes and encourage the children to follow the examples of others who grew up to be heroes.
