This show features five new Glenn Colton songs filled with strategies that will enable your students to be responsible and  safe cyberspace citizens.  The first letter in the title of each of the new songs spells the word M-O-U-S-E to provide a great way for students to remember the valuable lessons presented.

M - Make A Plan,
O - Ownership,
U - Use Technology Wisely,
S - Stop Save & Share,
E - Everybody Needs Balance

Students, teachers & parents will love the crystal clear messages,
 the melodies and the toe tapping rhthyms!

Don't Bully Me!
 "Let's Keep Our School Bully Free"

Bullying is NOT OK!  It is any word, look, sign or act that hurts another person's body, feelings or things. 

Why do some people become bullies? What can a person do if they are being bullied? As a school, how can we put a stop to bullying?
These sensitive questions are at the heart of Glenn's "Don't Bully Me" show. 

Research shows that bullying begins in grade school and peaks in junior high school. 
By giving your students this powerful, memorable experience in elementary school
bullying can be significantly minimized in your school…before it reaches a volatile level.


Your students will be empowered with 4 "easy-to-remember" tools to help them recognize and respond to bully situations.
This show features a collection of upbeat original songs that promote respect, friendship, and kindness.

to those who are willing to work hard and always do their best!

Additionally, this show is a celebration of the very process that defines our freedom, our right to vote!
