Schools Take Part in Respect Week

All this week students in Heights will take part in activities in recognition of the district-wide Week of Respect anti-bullying campaign.

Each school has its own schedule of activities for students to take part in which are designed to inspire students to stand up against bullying and remind them to have respect for each other, themselves and their school.

Anti-bullying efforts are ongoing in the school community and on Monday, Oct. 17 the district will bring the entire community together to discuss town-wide efforts. Representatives from all four schools, parents, students and clubs along with town clergy, borough officials and other department heads will gather at the high school auditorium to discuss how the whole community is involved in providing support for fellow neighbors in crisis.

Also this month, students at the middle and high school will take part in a presentation given by John Halligan whose son Ryan was the first suicide documented in the U.S. associated with cyber-bullying.
