Reid Adler Presentation
Parents / Guardians:
The Clarkson 7-12 grade students and staff will be attending a presentation at Stanton Community Schools the morning of Wednesday, December 12th. This is another great opportunity that we are taking to help inform students about the difficulties of social media and the harm of bullying in schools. We would appreciate it if you would take the time to talk with your child after the presentation to help follow up and follow through with emphasizing that no child is left alone and there is always someone that is willing to help. I have also included a brief summary of Mark and Joni Adler’s story:
Mark & Joni Adler will discuss with students (or adults) the journey during which their son Reid shared with them that he had suicidal thoughts to just over one month’s time when on January 7, 2016, Reid took his own life changing the lives of many forever. Reid was the victim of intimidation and cyber bullying, a situation his parents knew nothing about until after his passing. Mark & Joni will challenge students to stand up for each other and not allow any type of bullying or inappropriate treatment between students. The final focus will be on using courage and leadership as tools in spreading Hope and Kindness to everyone we encounter an approach Reid lived and exemplified daily!
