Miller Place Students 'Speak Life' and Learn to Make a Difference

Miller Place School District’s Miller Place High School and North Country Road Middle School students were recently introduced to “Speak Life,” a comprehensive bullying and violence prevention program that uses the arts to convey the importance of standing up for others. The event was broken down into three parts: The Show, The Challenge and the Cast Q&A. Students first watched a Broadway-style production, then were challenged to make a difference in their own community and shared personal stories with the cast.

The program covered the subjects of bullying, cyber bullying, teen violence, peer pressure, teen suicide, poor self-image and the common adolescent struggle to “fit in.”
