Vis Kids are Whiz Kids

You already know them as the voices of Pip, Sally, Brad, Shannon, and other characters on www.PACERKidsAgainstBullying.org. Keep your ears open, and you may also hear them on the radio, voicing public service announcements for PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Awareness Week, Oct. 22–28.

And now, for the first time on PACER’s Web site, here are the actors behind the audio, the visages behind the voices. (Drum roll, please!) Meet the amazing and talented students of VISTA Productions, the joint theater department of Visitation School and Saint Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights!

Our applause and gratitude to the Vis Kids for their enthusiastic partnership in helping us teach children how to prevent bullying.

PACER's National Center for Bullying Prevention promotes bullying awareness, teaches effective ways to respond to bullying, and prevents bullying of all children, especially those with disabilities.
