We typically deliver our programs to entire grade levels at a time. This format helps keep students engaged and allows us to present both programs within a single school day. Our team’s usual start time is 8:30 AM.

 

Happy Bear
Happy Bear is a short lesson/play that lasts about 10 minutes, followed by a 10‑minute break. A stationary setup (such as a library, gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room) works best, allowing classes to rotate efficiently, especially when accommodating a large number of opt‑in students. Our presenters will need access to a private space for costume changes, such as a well‑sized closet, stage area, or extra classroom. Please note that restrooms are not an appropriate space for these changes.

Kid Safety
Kid Safety is a 30‑minute program. For this session, we will need a screen to project our slides. Our Community Educator will bring a microphone to ensure all students can hear clearly and will have light‑up sunglasses to give to a few students at the end in recognition of excellent participation. There are 10‑minute breaks between each presentation.

We generally deliver our programs to entire grade levels at once. Larger groups help students feel more comfortable engaging with sensitive topics such as grooming and human trafficking. When students feel supported by their peers, they are more likely to ask questions, participate, and share their thoughts.
