Fourth Annual People's March Against Bullying

Cool 2 Be Kind (C2BK) began in 2009 as a student-run club raising campus and community awareness regarding the importance of being kind and demonstrating ways to prevent bullying.

C2BK collaborates with the National Association of People Against Bullying (NAPAB.org) started by the parents of Daniel Mendez who attended San Clemente High School and lost his life in a struggle against being bullied.

Kelsey Murphey and Jacqueline Lewis, Co-Presidents of San Clemente C2BK, report that "Our movement against bullying continues to grow."

Three local schools including San Clemente High School, Ladera Ranch Middle School and Dana Hills High School will participate in the march on:

Date: Saturday, October 10
Location: Laguna Beach main beach
Time: 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Over 400 young adults are expected to assemble and carry signs demonstrating their support and raising awareness of peace and kindness on school campuses.

There will be speakers at the event including San Clemente co-presidents of C2BK Kelsey Murphey and Jacqueline Lewis. Colton Gallarza, President of Ladera Ranch C2BK and Grace Tuohey, President of Dana Hills C2BK will speak and demonstrate how parents can get involved in their communities to help support this movement for kindness and fair treatment of all human beings.

If you are the parent of a child who is experiencing bullying at school, representatives of NAPAB will be available to consult. Your questions can be answered by Anna Mendez
