VIDEO: Magic With a Message at Brunswick Acres

A message of respect and kindness delivered to students at Brunswick Acres Elementary School on Monday.

"No Bullies Allowed" was screamed by a boisterous group of students on Monday at Brunswick Acres Elementary School during an assembly program by magician and motivational speaker Cris Johnson. The program, funded by the Brunswick Acres and Monmouth Junction Elementary School PTO, focused on the message of celebrating diversity, treating others with kindness, and seeking the help a teacher when confronted with a bully.

"This program gives the students a message of acceptance that compliments the message of respect that we instill in the kids," said Brunswick Acres Principal Neel Desai. "The show and humor is appropriate for their age level and presents why bullying is wrong in way that kids can understand. It helps the kids understand how important it is to take care of each other and presents the message in a way that stays with them. We're grateful to the PTO for making this happen."
