Smithtown High School West anti-bullying “Follow Our Lead” campaign ends the year with a bash
At the start of the school year, Smithtown High School West organized an anti-bullying campaign, “Follow Our Lead.” The goal was to educate students about the dangers of bullying in their community.
In an effort to spread the message throughout the entire school district, students at Smithtown High School West organized multiple events including an anonymous anti-bullying writing campaign, a Zumba fundraiser, an anti-bullying coloring page activity to engage the elementary school students, and the Best Buddies holiday party.
