The Canadian Half-Pints (from left) Mourtouz, Porky Neal (centre) and Farmer Pete, presented Bullying's Not Kool at St. Anne Catholic School.

This unique and talented trio talked to the kids about the importance of not teasing and of being tolerant and charitable.

The students learn how talented they are, despite their stature, giving the message that everyone has talent in one form or another.

The 30-minute presentation included harmful effects of teasing and bullying, prejudice and intimidation, followed by a 20-minute half court basketball game against the students.

The Canadian Half-Pints have presented Bullying's Not Kool to over 6,000 schools across Canada. Canadian Half-Pints are looking for recruits. For more information phone Phil at 613-885-7404.
