Garden City Public Schools

On Dec. 5 and 6, the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying visited Garden City Middle School’s health classes to deliver engaging, age-appropriate presentations. Their aim was to help students better understand the impact of bullying, build meaningful prevention strategies and learn how to seek help for themselves or others.

Throughout the sessions, students explored what bullying looks like in its various forms, how to distinguish conflict from bullying, and how to recognize the emotions of those around them. They also deepened their understanding of empathy — including its different levels — and discussed ways to take positive, compassionate action in their daily interactions.

The LICAB program supported Garden City Middle School’s ongoing commitment to building a safe, supportive school environment where all students feel respected and valued.
