..In School Programs.. Smashing ANTs succeeds where lectures don't!

Engaging..............Inspiring..............Helpful

.

As a member of Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) Student Services Advisory Committee, HCPSS Bully Prevention Policy Committee, and 2007PBIS Summer Institute presenter, I know the commitment schools have in cultivating a safe and nurturing environment for all students.

Yet, finding easy-to-use, engaging tools to support Bully Policy Implementation, Character Education, Student Support, and Classroom Initiatives have been hard to come by.

The Smashing ANTs programs have been developed and used in After School Programs with hundreds of Elementary and Middle School students dealing with confidence issues, perfectionism, ADHD challenges, anxiety issues, shyness and bully issues. Both the parents and the students, alike have found the programs to be extremely helpful, fun and engaging.  

"...As a parent, it was wonderful to have this program as a context for discussing negative thoughts with my child and how to combat them. I have seen a tremendous difference in my child already. I only wish we had had a program like this when I was young!" With gratitude, S. Grooms, Howard County School Parent.

"I think Smashing ANTs is very cool and very fun but the most important thing is that it helps me smash ANTs." Howard County Elementary School Student.

M .Brickley, School Psychologist says, "I love it! - I think it would be great for many of our kids."

M. Kelly, Elementary School Counselor says, "...This program is both engaging for children and easy to use. The concepts build upon one another naturally and the program includes an important section on how anxiety affects self esteem. Smashing ANTs™ is an invaluable investment..."

Smashing ANTs programs increases student's self-awareness, social awareness, self-management and helps them become responsible decision makers. Best of all, these programs provide teachers and staff with tools to help improve student's performance and behavior without resorting to humiliation.

Smashing ANTs School Programs come in a variety of formats so you can choose the one that meets your school's needs. You can get it an All-Inclusive package so your teachers/guidance counselors can easily lead the program. You can bring a Smashing ANTs facilitator to your school to teach your students and or staff. Or you can have a Smashing ANTs assembly. However you choose to bring Smashing ANTs to your school, your students and staff will grow exponentially!
