Seeing Red in the Middle School
Walking the halls of Somers Middle School on a recent Wednesday and Thursday, you wouldn’t be blamed for ‘seeing red’. There was a lot of red. “We are wearing red today to show people that bullying isn’t ok,” says seventh-grader Fiona Sledzik. “We are starting conversations about speaking up and standing up for each other when people say things that aren’t kind.” Fiona is a member of the No Place for Hate Club, the club that organized Stomp Out Bullying Day.
