St Luke students get a painless lesson on bullying

Students at St Luke School in Shoreline saw a Taproot theatre performance with a message today. Treasure Ally tells a story of bullies and how to stand up to them.

Swashbuckling scallywag! The good ship Buccaneer has a bad case of the bullies, and it’s much worse than our hero Louis ever experienced on the playground. The pirate captain calls him names and won’t even let him off the ship in time to get to class! And that’s not all; it turns out the captain is being bullied himself. Can Louis and his fellow crew members teach their captain a few things about standing up to bullies before the next full moon? Or will Captain No-Beard come to pick on them and steal their map to the treasure?

The educational goals were to teach children to Recognize, Refuse, and Report bullying and how to be an ally and a friend to someone being bullied.

There were two presentations, one for Kindergarten - 4th grade, and one for grades 5-8.  The performance was co-sponsored by the St Luke Parents Club and Student Council.
