🛡️ IS YOUR CHILD BULLY-PROOF?

Dear Fort Lauderdale Families,

Going back to school means new teachers, new classmates, new friendships—and sometimes, new challenges.

Would your child know what to do if they were bullied?
Would they have the confidence to stand up for themselves without becoming a bully themselves?
Would they know when to walk away, when to speak up, and when to ask an adult for help?

🥋 DONE WITH BULLYING WORKSHOP

We invite all IMAA students, families, and their friends to join us for our FREE Done With Bullying Workshop, presented as part of our Back to School Open House!

This special workshop is designed to give children practical tools to:

🛡️ Recognize and prevent bullying

💪 Build real confidence

🗣️ Use their voice and stand up for themselves

🤝 Show respect while setting strong boundaries

🧠 Know what to do when bullying happens

❤️ Help others instead of being a bystander

Our goal isn't to teach children to fight. It's to give them the confidence, awareness, and skills to avoid becoming an easy target—and the character to never become the bully.
