WHAT IS THE RIPPLE EFFECT PRESENTATION?
Our Ripple Effect presentation empowers students to recognize the profound impact of kindness and empathy within their school community. By understanding how each choice—whether big or small—creates ripples that affect others, students are encouraged to stand up against bullying and support one another.
