A Window in My Heart: A Story About Bullying

a CCPL Summer Learning Challenge Program!

Join us for an intergalactic trip to a school on a spaceship, where students are faced with a tough choice... do you join in with the bully or stand up for what's right?

Songwriter and performer Alden Phelps plays Charlie the Janitor, the goofy custodian who’s always getting chewing gum stuck to his shoe. But Charlie gets serious when he tells the story of what happened at the elementary school where he works. He describes a scene of bullying and the tough choices students are often faced with: whether to join in with the bullies or to stand up for what is right.

Using rapping, guitar playing, singing, and story-telling, Charlie the Janitor intersperses the story with information about the difference between teasing and bullying, how to respond to bullies, and how to make wise choices. This assembly perfectly interlaces music and humor with the strong moral lesson of bullying: a common dilemma found in schools across our country.

Registration is required. Please contact laplataref@ccplonline.org or call us at 301-931-9001 with any questions!
