The 3 R's are golden at Taft Elementary. They stand for:
Respect - one another
Recognize - when you or someone else is being teased or bullied
Report - disrespectful behavior to a teacher, principal or other trusted adult
Dan's a 3rd grader who just transferred to Taft Elementary after his parents got divorced. Dan hopes to find his first friend in Tabitha but she seems more concerned about what hanging out with the "new kid" would do to her reputation.
Sharon, Mandy, Hannah and Renee have been best friends forever. They even started their own group, THE SUPERSTARS. However, when Renee starts taking dance classes outside of school and making new friends, Sharon tells the group to ignore her and decides not invite Renee to her birthday party, breaking a long SUPERSTAR tradition.
Their teacher, Ms. Sajak, has been observing all this teasing and bullying and knows it's time to remind her students about Taft's 3 R's by hosting her very own game show "RINGS OF REALITY".
This fun-filled show gets our audience involved in the action and leaves students and teachers with some lessons they can use every day!
