October was National Bullying Prevention Month. GSA Middle/High School kicked off a year-long effort to stop bullying and build positive character traits. Every student in the school learned about bullying and what to do if they are a target. In addition, students learned about the power that bystanders have it preventing school bullying. The students who are pictured are the winners of the various contests that we held to bring awareness to bullying.
