Northport students stand up to stand out

Northport K-8 students joined Treasure Coast High School senior Rebecca Cowan and empowered each other against the harmful effects of bullying recently. Students in grades K-5 read stories, discussed bullying issues and worked in activity books designed by Rebecca. Students in all grades worked together to bring the powerful message by wearing the color pink! Students donned pink shirts, pink headbands, pink jewelry, pink socks and pink ribbons to show their support for the special project. Rebecca joined all the Northport 8th grade girls in the media center for a discussion and
an open and frank talk about the effects of bullying and what to do to empower themselves against bullies. The entire day at Northport was devoted to student empowerment at all levels. Pictured is Rebecca talking with students.
