Michelle is a recent graduate from Regal Road Public School in Toronto, and the founder of the “Be You: Anti Bullying Club”. She is the embodiment of what School Heroes Unite aims to foster in students.
Michelle was bullied in grades 4 and 5, but rather than be the victim of her circumstances, she chose to be a hero. She realized she wasn’t the only student being bullied, and that’s when she decided to create the “Be You: Anti Bullying Club”. In March of this year I had the privilege of giving a special School Heroes Unite presentation at Michelle’s school, and helped reveal that she was to be given a special award through the TDSB.
Michelle is a great example of what’s possible, but I believe that all students have the potential to be heroes for one another. They simply need a plan of action, and the commitment as a school to take these small actions every day. When an entire school makes this commitment, as they do with School Heroes Unite, and the staff supports and encourages the students, truly magical and healing results can occur.
Bring School Heroes Unite to your school and through the development of heroism, empathy and teamwork foster the next Michelle Lewis’ in our community.
