Fisher, who was a part of the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters from 2009-2019, took time out to share his important anti-bullying speech with the students. In a high-energy and interactive presentation, Fisher spoke about the impacts of bullying and how students can be upstanders instead of bystanders. To drive his points home, Fisher relied on more than just words - he let his basketball artistry do the talking. At one point, he intentionally missed a theatrical shot, asking the kids what encouraging words they could offer instead of mocking laughter. Their positive reinforcement helped "psych him up" to nail an electrifying slam dunk on the next attempt. Fisher also called up volunteers to physically spell out his name - 'T-A-Y' - with each letter representing a key anti-bullying principle: 'T' for 'Talk' to a trusted friend or adult, 'A' for 'Ask Questions' to understand situations better, and 'Y' for 'You have the power to make a difference.'

The students were awestruck by Fisher's basketball skills, but more importantly, they left feeling empowered to be upstanders against bullying, armed with tools to create a kinder, more inclusive school community.
