Hoops For Kids
As nearly 100 children laughed and played inside the Provo's Boys & Girls Club gymnasium, all taking part in a basketball camp, the event organizer watched happily from the sideline. The fun, exercise-filled activity took place all thanks to Brennan Lovelace, who is just 13 years old.
When the time came for Lovelace to plan an Eagle Scout project, the Boys & Girls Club, which he'd passed often while visiting the Seven Peaks water park, came to mind.

Working Together to Keep Kids Safe
Nine teenagers are being prosecuted for bullying a fellow South Hadley High School student, Phoebe Prince, who committed suicide after being taunted and threatened. Fifteen-year-old Phoebe Prince was allegedly driven to suicide by classmates who harassed her at school and cyberbullied her over the internet.
Phoebe, a new arrival at South Hadley High School from a small seaside town in Ireland, was mercilessly tormented: Her books were routinely knocked out of her hands, things were thrown at her, and threatening text messages were sent to her cell phone. These vicious bullies humiliated and tormented Phoebe until tragically, she took her own life.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Utah County and Netsmartz recognizes that we, along with parents and schools, are a critical partner in protecting kids from bullies. School safety expert Michael Dorn recently conducted a workshop for parents and educators on bullying. You can learn how to keep kids in your life safe from bullies by viewing the virtual session, "Bullying through the Eyes of a Child." Working together, we can help assure that no more youngsters experience the fear and humiliation Phoebe suffered. | | Take Action Against Bullying: | | • | Watch school safety expert Michael Dorn's workshop: "Bullying through the Eyes of a Child." | | • | Share Michael's Dorn's workshop, "Bullying through the Eyes of a Child," with other parents. | | • | Support BGCUC in providing safe havens for kids. |
