Doing Something About Bullying In Greenwich..... The Anti-Defamation League–the folks who created Names Day–are pairing up with the Jewish Community Center (JCC) In Greenwich to help parents spot, intervene and prevent bullying. The JCC has refered to the statistics of adolescent suicide – the third leading cause of death among Connecticut residents ages 15-19 as "staggering," and, in a press release, described the untimely death of Greenwich High School student Bartlomeiej “Bart” Palosz (15) as "an urgent reminder that bullying, name calling and cyber-bullying are frequently associated with tragic consequences." At the workshop, Marji Lipshez-Shapiro, ADL’s Director of Education, will share her insights from working with young people across the state and explain how every child is involved in bullying through four key roles that people play in instances of bullying. She will be joined by a panel of area high school students who will share their experiences and respond to questions. The free workshop is scheduled for Tues., Oct. 1st from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at Town Hall, 101 Field Point Rd jccgreenwich.org/index.php?option=com_jevents&task=icalevent.detail&evid=307&Itemid=160&year=2013&month=10&day=01
