2nd Don't Kick Penguins event - Oct. 22

The second Don't Kick Penguins event is scheduled for Saturday, October 22, at McHenry County College. This will be a day of workshops and seminars for middle school students, parents, counselor and teachers on bullying issues that students face. Nine different workshops, all related to bullying, will be presented.

Help is needed in getting the message out about this event to parents and teachers of McHenry County middle school students; and funds are needed to help cover some of the costs for the project. A small grant for this year's program has been awarded by the Porter Fund (part of McHenry County Community Foundation), but there will be additional expenses. 

Donations in any amount (larger are better (Gus's commentary)) can be sent to Principled Minds, 227 North Throop Street, Woodstock IL 60098. 

You can help to get the message out by going to their Facebook page (Don't Kick Penguins) and "liking" and sharing it.

Together we can work toward putting a stop to Bullying in McHenry County.
