Fifth graders at Connolly and Landing elementary schools learned all about bullying thanks to a few high school heroes.

Members of Glen Cove High School’s Hero Club prepared the students for middle school and the possible bullying they may encounter.

Through role-playing, games and various activities, the fifth graders learned:

• How to deal with bullying
• How to avoid being the target of bullies
• How to make the transition to middle school a positive and empowering experience.
• About the different types of bullying
• About those who bully
• How to be an upstander rather than a bystander

The club members planned, organized and worked very hard on the presentations. The club even presented a video made by junior Alizander Lizaso, a Glen Cove High School TV-3 Independent Study student.

The high school students enjoyed working with their school community and were happy to have an opportunity to reunite with their fifth-grade teachers, said Hero Club adviser Vicki Gordon.
