Amityville

Throughout the month of October, which marks National Bullying Prevention Month, Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School in Amityville has participated in several activities to promote kindness, inclusion, and unity.  

Park Avenue began the month by wearing blue for World Day of Bullying Prevention. Students learned what it means to show kindness to others by creating a Unity Chain filled with positive messages about their classmates — a symbol of how we are all connected. They also learned about the importance of being a buddy, and how Park Avenue’s Buddy Bench on the playground helps foster friendship and inclusion. 

To close the month, students wore orange for Unity Day, standing together against bullying and showing that kindness and inclusion unites everyone.
