WHY: The League will provide a special performance of Kids on the Block that focuses on bullying. The performance, targeted to second and third graders, is set to begin at 10.30 AM. Throughout the event, children of all ages will be invited to create bag puppets to be donated to the Pediatrics Unit at Overlook Hospital and develop Valentine’s Day goody bags to be donated to the Summit Oaks Hospital. The children’s yoga class will focus on poses and breath work to help the children with self esteem and confidence and deal with bullying. The League believes that education is a key to helping children avoid and deal with social bullying. Moreover, the League is thrilled to offer young children the opportunity to participate in community service, and understand the reward of helping others, at such a young age.
