*The difference between a disagreement and actual bullying
*How does a bully use language to get power over someone?
*The danger of spreading rumors about others
*What if I am the bully?
*The challenge if one of your friends is bullying other friends
*What to do if you see someone getting bullied

We are so proud of Katie. She got a callback for a new reality TV series premiering on A&E!

Created by the same producers of the popular series “Born This Way,” the series will follow a group of young people with Down syndrome as they develop and film a new movie. They will serve as cast and crew, handling directing and acting duties.

Katie has set her sights on being both a performer and assistant director for the series. She submitted her audition, and she got a callback within a day!

Fingers crossed that Katie lands the job. We are all so proud of her as she works towards becoming a professional actor/director.
