OXFORD – A one of a kind presentation designed to bring a proactive anti-bullying message to middle school students across the U.S. made a return stop at the Oxford Academy Middle School Wednesday for student in grades five through eight.
The program, aptly named 'Sweethearts & Heroes' is catching on nationwide, emphasizing an action based approach and going beyond mere awareness in an effort to thwart the pressing issue of bullying that occurs not only in our schools – but also our neighborhoods and homes.
“Just talking about awareness doesn’t fix anything,” says Tom Murphy, a husband and father who competed on the second season of Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter.
New York-based Murphy, along with cofounder Jason Spector, developed the program and consistently tour the program to middle and high school students, parents and entire communities.
