LINDENHURST, NY - Albany Avenue Elementary School kicked off Red Ribbon Week with the powerful Soren Bennick antibullying program, “The Power of One.”
The interactive program teaches students how to identify bullying, what can be done about it and how every child has the power to end bullying by reporting it when they see it.
This power is illustrated through a series of skits using boxes, colors and masks.
