Bullying prevention assemblies for Missouri elementary, middle and high schools
Missouri school planning often looks different in the St. Louis region, Kansas City area, Springfield, Columbia, the Bootheel and small northern communities. Travel corridors, school size and local culture should shape the day.
State-Specific Planning
Building the right anti-bullying program for Missouri
Missouri schools can select a primary outcome, then choose the grade-specific sessions and adult learning needed to support it. When several buildings participate, each should identify its reporting contacts and follow-up owner before the event.
Jim Jordan’s programs are organized by developmental stage rather than delivered as one generic speech. The goal is to give students language they can understand, give bystanders several safe choices and help every audience connect the program with the trusted adults already available in its own school.
District, charter, independent, Christian and Catholic schools can ask about student assemblies, educator training and parent presentations. The booking conversation establishes what fits the school; this page does not imply a previous partnership with any named Missouri district or campus.

Grades PK-2
Primary Anti-Bullying Assembly

Grades 3-5
Intermediate Anti-Bullying Assembly
Intermediate students learn to recognize the different forms of bullying, to intervene safely as bystanders, and to report without fear. The program shifts attention toward the majority of students who want bullying to stop and shows them practical ways to help.
Grades 6-8
Middle School Anti-Bullying Assembly
Middle school is where social dynamics get complicated and where bullying moves onto phones. This assembly meets students where they are, with a high-energy presentation on cyberbullying, digital citizenship and the courage to intervene.
Grades 9-12
High School Anti-Bullying Assembly
High school students do not need to be told bullying is wrong. They need a reason to act. This assembly challenges students to own the culture of their campus and gives them practical ways to influence it.
Faculty & Staff
Anti-Bullying Teacher Training
Teachers are central to a safe school culture. This professional development session defines staff roles in bullying prevention, explores response and investigation practices, and discusses how to support students and work constructively with families.
Parents & Families
Parent Anti-Bullying Presentation
An evening keynote for parents and guardians covering bullying prevention, cyberbullying, digital safety, communication at home, and warning signs that may warrant a closer conversation. Parents leave with practical next steps rather than generic advice.
After the Assembly
Keeping the message active in Missouri schools
A common bystander framework can be used in advisory, athletics, clubs and family messages while allowing each campus to address its own problem locations. Student leaders can promote inclusion but should pass concerns to adults.
Effective follow-up does not require students to disclose personal experiences in front of classmates. Schools can use fictional scenarios, private reflection and clear adult referral options. When a concern involves safety or an individual student, it belongs with trained school personnel following school and district procedures.
Before the Assembly
Preparing Missouri educators and families
Staff should know the purpose of the program, the grade-specific language students will hear and the support contacts available after the event. Families benefit from a concise explanation of the topic, the school’s reporting route and a few questions they can use at home.
The school can also identify accessibility, language, sensory, mobility and schedule needs during planning. Those details help the program reach more students without putting individual children or their experiences on display.
Tour Routing
Scheduling an anti-bullying speaker in Missouri
Missouri routes can be grouped around eastern, western, central, southwest or southeast regions. Crossing the state between morning and afternoon programs is rarely realistic and should not be assumed.
Provide the full campus address, preferred date range, grade levels, expected attendance and whether the request includes intermediate anti-bullying assembly, educator training, a parent evening or several student sessions. The office can then respond with actual availability and pricing.

Connect the presentation with current Missouri and district guidance
An educational assembly is not legal advice and does not replace school policy, investigation procedures or required student supports. Before the event, the planning team should review current state guidance, district rules and the school’s reporting process. The federal StopBullying.gov state laws and policies directory is a useful starting point for locating current official information.

What educators say about Jim Jordan’s anti-bullying presentations
These attributed comments help Missouri decision-makers assess the presentation experience; they are not represented as endorsements from Missouri schools.
Jim wove his natural speaking talents into moments of magic to draw out a point and to reinforce key elements of his talk. The students were motivated to listen and to respond throughout the presentation. Both staff and parents were very impressed with Jim’s management of the students and the clear messages of responsibility and respect that were his key messages. For any community that is endeavoring to address bullying within their school or may be establishing a leadership team, Jim Jordan is a terrific way to commence your efforts.
Jim Jordan’s assembly was a resounding success with my second-graders! His magic tricks kept them engaged and captivated, which was crucial for holding their attention. But more importantly, he delivered a clear, age-appropriate message about kindness and respect. The kids left the assembly understanding how their actions affect others and eager to be upstanders, not bystanders. I highly recommend him for younger students.
Missouri FAQ
Questions about booking an anti-bullying school speaker in Missouri
What makes an anti-bullying assembly useful for Missouri schools?
The program should fit the school's students, schedule and support system instead of relying on a state-name substitution. For Missouri, planning begins with the local setting described on this page, separates developmental grade bands and connects every student message to the school's actual trusted-adult and reporting process.
Can Jim Jordan present in St. Louis and other parts of Missouri?
Availability is based on the requested date and a workable travel route. Schools in St. Louis, Southeast Missouri and the other communities listed here can contact the office with their exact city, grade levels, audience size and preferred date range. The office will confirm what is possible rather than making an unverified availability claim.
Should a Missouri school use one presentation for every grade?
Usually, separate age groups create a stronger learning experience. Primary students need simple recognition and help-seeking practice, intermediate students can work with peer examples, and middle or high school students need credible discussion of social pressure, online audiences and safe bystander choices.
How should Missouri educators prepare before the speaker arrives?
Staff should review the school's own definitions, reporting routes, support contacts and response responsibilities. They should also know the language students will hear during the program. This preparation helps adults respond consistently if students ask questions or seek help afterward.
What should happen after an anti-bullying assembly in Missouri?
Use the locally focused follow-through plan on this page. Brief classroom prompts, repeated reporting reminders, family communication and a later staff review can keep the message active. The assembly creates shared language and momentum; it does not replace the school's ongoing prevention and response work.
