The PTA will be hosting a school assembly on Wednesday, November 15th during the school day with Taproot Theatre’s presentation of Bugs!, a play about bullying prevention and celebrating differences. This event is only for students.

Bugs! by Melanie Hampton

Things are snug as a bug in a rug at school until the new kid shows up with enviable expertise about bugs. All the students think Max is the bee’s knees. All of them, except Logan, whose jealousy turns into bullying behavior that’s as bad as a case of bed bugs. Will the other students realize they can’t just be flies on a wall? Can Max stand up to Logan’s bullying behavior? And is there room for new friendship on the playground?

Education Goals:

• Recognizing, Reporting, and Refusing Bullying Behavior

• Being a Positive Bystander

• Celebrating Differences

• Welcoming Newcomers/Forming Friendships
