Kids Create Unity Tree To Fight Back Against Bullying

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — Southampton students took a proactive stance against bullying recently.

As part of Bullying Prevention Month, the Southampton Intermediate School Guidance Department worked with students to create a unity tree in the front lobby of the school. Following discussions about anti-bullying, students were asked to write a sentence or two on a colorful leaf about how they would address a bullying situation, the district said.

All of the leaves are displayed on the tree, which will remain in the lobby throughout the school year.
