Parents – tomorrow 3/13/2019 @ 7:00pm at Halsted Middle School there will be a free seminar by Dianne Grossman of Mallory’s Army about how to help your kids deal with the bullying they will undoubtedly experience in school. Dianne’s 12 year old daughter Mallory tragically took her own life after being bullied in school in Rockaway, NJ. Did you know that for 5th-8th grade kids, the leading cause of death is suicide? Not cancer, not car crashes… suicide. Luckily, it’s preventable. Come with us tomorrow night at 7 to learn more. It’s a very moving presentation and you’ll be glad you went. Mallory Grossman
