Best-Selling Author Coming to Vernonia School District
to Address Hot Topic of Emotional Bullying
 
On  August  31,  award-winning 
children’s  author  and  advocate  Trudy 
Ludwig  will  be  visiting  the  Vernonia 
School  District  to  give  her  nationally 
acclaimed  presentations  on  relational 
aggression  (emotional  bullying  among 
friends). 
 
On  Wednesday  August  31, 
Ludwig  will  be  providing  a  district-
wide  staff  workshop,  “Creating  a  Safer 
Social  and  Learning  Environment  in 
Schools”.  On  Thursday,  September  8, 
Ludwig  will  be  visiting  Washington 
Grade  School  to  present  to  students  in 
Kindergarten  through  fifth  grade.  Later 
that  evening,  Ludwig  will  provide  a 
parent  presentation,  “Understanding 
Our  Kids’  Social  World:  Friendships, 
Cliques  &  Power  Plays.”  This  evening 
event  will  take  place  from  6:30  –  8 
PM  at  Washington  Grade  School.  
Refreshments  and  child  care  will  be 
provided
   
“We’re  excited  to  have  Trudy 
share  her  books  and  expertise  with  our 
school  communities  about  this  very 
important  issue,”  says  DeAnna  Pearl, 
DFC  Grant  Director  for  Vernonia 
Prevention  Coalition.  “We  want  to  stay 
on  top  of  the  latest  research  and  learn 
about  new  resources  and  tools  to  help 
us  continue  to  provide  safer  social  and 
learning environments for the students.” 
 
Ludwig  has  received  rave 
reviews  around  the  country  for  her 
passion  and  compassion  in  addressing 
bullying and friendship issues. She first 
became  aware  of  relational  aggression 
when her own daughter became a target. 
The  author  and  her  book,  My  Secret 
Bully, were featured on ABC’s “GOOD 
MORNING AMERICA”  and  on  PBS’s 
nationally syndicated  show  “KEEPING 
KIDS  HEALTHY.”  Her  subsequent 
releases,  Just  Kidding,  Sorry!,  Trouble 
Talk®,  Too  Perfect,  Confessions  of  a 
Former Bully, and Better Than You, have 
also  received  high  praise  from  leading 
experts,  educators,  and  organizations 
nationwide.
 
Ludwig presents at schools and 
conferences  throughout  the  US  to  raise 
awareness  of  the  growing  problem  of 
emotional bullying among children and 
what  adults  can  do  to  help.    She  also 
collaborates  with  leading  anti-bullying 
experts  and  key  organizations  around 
the  country.  For  more  information
