**************

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!

Louisa was born in Massachusetts in the year 1833, and her family lived in a house that was full of laughter and love. Mr. and Mrs. Alcott had three other girls, too, and they loved romping and playing up and down the hills near their home. One of their favorite things was to put on plays for neighbors. The barn was their theater, and they loved performing the stories of Jack-and-the-Beanstalk, Cinderella, and many others.

As Louisa grew older she became popular with the younger children for the wonderful stories she told. She also began realizing how little money her family had and how her parents had to work so hard. She had always been HELPFUL, but now Louisa knew she could really HELP. She began writing stories for magazines and newspapers. The talent she had enjoyed sharing with others as a child now HELPED her make a name for herself, as well as some money to send home to her family.

After that, a publisher asked Louisa if she would write a book for girls. When she began thinking about what she should write, memories of her childhood came to mind—fun with her sisters and the love from their parents. She began writing her book about all of those people and events. She called it Little Women, a story that made people laugh and cry. It was so popular that Louisa had enough money to buy a new home for her parents. All of her books are still loved and read today. Little Women has even been made into a movie—more than once! And Louisa May Alcott became a HERO.

That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!

Dear Parents,

After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN MethodTM to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials

This program, The Beginning of a Famous HeroTM is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!TM in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment.

These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it’s just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.”

They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.

It is the spaced repetition of these principles that makes the program effective. It is the 100% turn-key presentation that makes it easy!

This program takes VIRTUALLY NO TIME (only 4 minutes a week!) away from classroom instruction. But it also provides a common language across the entire campus when teachable moments occur!

The TCN Method has been extraordinarily successful in the past, in almost a...
