Rocky Point Middle School students and staff continue to encourage and empower one another in making positive choices. Students signed their names to paper hand cutouts in each advisory for the school’s “See Something, Say Something” awareness campaign. The pledge is a commitment to being there for their peers, recognizing situations that may spiral out of control and identifying trusted adults to turn to for help. The colorful mural that is in the school’s cafeteria serves as a powerful, reinforcing message.
