STAND UP 2012
On Thursday, November 29, 2012 thousands of middle and high school students and teachers from across New England came together at the Tsongas Center in Lowell for a one-day program to take a stand against all forms of bullying. During the day, students discussed the issue in a town meeting and then caucused to exchange ideas and develop an action plan with a partner school for implementation. This rally was a call to action for students to take a stand against bullying!
This year, we launched our Ballads vs. Bullying music contest. Over 30 songs were submitted by high school and middle school students from Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Three finalists were chosen and they performed their songs live at STAND UP 2012.
