PERFORMANCE AND MESSAGE BY CARY TRIVANOVICH
America's Leading School Speaker On Bullying For 25 Years
 

Cary's performance is a comedy/pantomime mix that Los Angeles theatre critics have called "perfect cartoons" and "as visually stimulating as it is funny to the bone."  The reaction he receives in school assemblies must be seen to be believed.  His performance earns so much respect with his audiences that he is able to follow with his straightforward message with pin-drop attention.

Cary's message is given in the second half of the assembly.  It will be tailored to the age level and the specific climate and degree of bullying at your school.  Whether about students who are bullying in ignorance of how they are acting, or about the more serious staunch bullies, Cary's message speaks to the heart of every student.
 

• Cary effectively exposes the mindset of bullies, revealing their desire to be somebody, and how bullying ultimately accomplishes the opposite.
• He encourages the bullied, giving them helpful and practical advice.
• He explains that the notion of not tattling or "snitching" when students witness bullying is adolescent and dangerous, and that they should help victims of bullying by reporting and protecting.
• Cary culminates his message with the challenge to be the kind of peer who is a magnet for friends - unselfish and giving.
 
 

Age appropriate?  Absolutely.

Cary's lower and upper elementary assembly programs, as well as his middle and high school assembly programs, are geared with both his performance and his message distinctly to the maturity level of the audience.

Younger or Upper Elementary - Cary's message is different with the lower grades than the upper, not only because of the maturity level of the kids, but because little kids bully each other for a completely different reason than the older kids do.  Scheduling two assemblies (at no extra charge) to accommodate this is ideal.

Middle School - Cary's ability to connect with middle schoolers is second to none.  As one middle school teacher quoted his students exclaiming "He's too cool for school!"

High School - Cary's presentation to high schools is completely different - and in fact, is one of America's popular youth conference keynotes.
 

Anti-Bullying Forum for Families and Teachers

Cary Trivanovich will be happy to include an additional forum for your community after the assemblies.  The forum will involve immediate and long term remedies to stop bullying, open discussion and, of course, a short performance which parents will appreciate after hearing about it from their kids!

"I've never seen the kids so mesmerized by a performer and I really believe that your message got across to them.  You immediately gained their respect by sharing your talent with them and then talked to them like a friend who's been bullied himself.  It's great to see someone like you using your awesome talents to improve the lives of our children!!"
 Judy Harrison, PTA, Washington Elementary School, Pittsburgh, PA, Judy.Harrison@CareCentric.Com

"Ah, yes, another boring speaker on bullying..... WRONG!  This guy captivated our audiences and through his crazy on-stage character caught our students and then delivered his message about treating others with kindness, respect, and seeking excellence in everything we do.  He was great!  The kids loved him and the staff commented he was the best speaker in years."
 Marge Hamill, Assistant Principal, Highlander Way Middle, Howell, MI,

"Extraordinary show... I was amazed at how you kept 500 students perfectly quiet for one whole hour.  That's unheard of."  Cherie Barrett, Assemblies Coordinator, Yelle Elementary PTO, Norton, MA
