**************

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!

When young Johnny Schneider was in school, he was overweight, and the bullies would tease him and play mean tricks on him. But through it all, Johnny knew he wanted to grow up to be somebody special. He started acting on stage when he was only eight years old, and he worked hard to be the best actor he could possibly be. Not long after that, he learned how to play the guitar. As a teenager, he learned a lot about professional race car driving, but many of the older kids were still being mean to him. One day, Johnny found… a hundred dollar bill! He tried to turn it in, but he was told there was no way to know who had lost it. So Johnny knew this was his chance to change things.

He got a membership to a health club and started working out every day until he was strong and healthy. He was no longer overweight! Then, only a short time later when he was 18 years old, another big chance came his way. He tried out for the part of Bo Duke in a brand new television show called The Dukes of Hazzard. And you know what? He got the part! Later, he was hired to be an actor in a lot of movies and other television shows.

But all along, John knew there had to be more important things in life. One day, he and his friend, Marie Osmond, worked very hard together and started the Children’s Miracle Network, an organization that today has helped over 17 million kids! Yes, that little Johnny Schneider, who was picked on a lot when he was a child, grew up to be John Schneider the television and movie star who still works very hard to help other people in a lot of very special ways. He grew up to be… a HERO!

Dear Parents,

After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials

This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment.

These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it’s just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.”

They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.

It is the spaced repetition of these principles that makes the program effective. It is the 100% turn-key presentation that makes it easy!

This program takes VIRTUALLY NO TIME (only 4 minutes a week!) away from classroom instruction. But it also provides a common language across the entire campus when teachable moments occur!

The TCN Method has been extraordinarily successful in the past, in almost a thousand schools all across America, from California to New York, with a special concentration all over Texas, where The Character Network is based, and has been used to the benefit of well over a million students across the past two decades.

Then Covid struck, with the majority of schools ceasing in classroom instruction altogether for the majority of the previous school year, and after years of successful growth, we found ourselves in the very difficult situation of having to rebuild almost from scratch. So we started a morning podcast to help make the principles and teachings of TCN available to kids to have at home… but we need help from parents like you to get the word out, and also to help us gather financial support to once again make the method available again to not just the schools we lost due to Covid, but to every school and every child who could benefit and needs this going forward.

We invite you to become a coworker with us on our mission. Please start by visiting us at www.Patreon.com/theCharacterNetwork and considering becoming a sponsor for this work, and then dropping us a line at [e-mail] so we can learn more about you. Thank you so much!
