Inaugural Citrus County Unity Day & March

Miss USA National Teen Caroline Dixon who has made it her mission to advocate against bullying offered an impress address.

I had the great honor of participating in and speaking at the Inaugural Citrus County Unity Day & March to “take a stand against bullying” sponsored by Street Team Citrus, Aspire Relationship Center, Anti-Drug Coalition, CASA and Tobacco Free Florida Citrus.

We were honored to have as the featured speaker Crystal River High Senior and 2015 USA National Teen Caroline Dixon, who spoke to the crowd about her experiences of being cyberbullied in middle school.

I was privileged to share the following message at the Historical Court House;

“As a School Board Representative and parent of two students in Citrus County schools, I stand with you against bullying and all forms of aggression against our young people. The word bullying may have different meanings to individuals, but for me ANY threat against our students should not be tolerated. As a School Board, we support systems, policies, and trainings that ensure students know and feel they are safe.

On a personal level, I know what it feels like to be threatened, insulted, and hurt both physically and emotionally.

Today, we stand together—Today, we unite—Today, we are not alone!“
