🧊 BREAK THE ICE ON BULLYING!

October is Bullying Prevention Month, and we're bringing the message to life!

Expect fun, interactive activities designed to help young people recognize bullying, build positive relationships, support one another, and discover how they can be an upstander—not a bystander.

This isn't a sit-and-listen kind of event. Come ready to participate, laugh, learn, move, and connect!

🎃 COSTUMES ARE WELCOME!

It's Halloween, so feel free to bring your best family-friendly Halloween spirit! 👻

Costumes should be:

✅ Fun, creative, and age-appropriate✅ Family-friendly✅ Comfortable enough to participate in activities and ice skating✅ Safe for an active environment✅ Respectful of others and appropriate for a youth-centered event

🚫 Please leave costumes that are sexually suggestive, excessively revealing, violent or graphic, discriminatory/offensive, or that include realistic weapons or other unsafe props at home.

When in doubt, choose fun over frightening and family-friendly over extreme! 🎃
