Upcoming Anti-Bully Workshop for Parents

The district is hosting Ryan’s Story, an anti-bullying program based on Ryan Halligan, a 13-year-old middle school student from Vermont who committed suicide in 2003 because of bullying. Ryan’s father, John Halligan, will recount the story of his son’s life, the ridicule he endured, the devastating impact that his son’s suicide has had on his life, and the power of forgiveness. Mr. Halligan will be speaking on Wednesday, March 13 at 7 p.m. in the Mineola Middle School auditorium. Parents of students in any grade who are residents of the district may attend this free and powerful forum.

Students will participate in a workshop with Mr. Halligan during the day. Parents are not encouraged to bring their children to the evening workshop.
