I'm Sorry

"Thomas Jones, I'm Sorry"

"Brittney MacCann, I'm Sorry"

With lumps in their throats, students stood to offer apologies to their classmates. Those simple but powerful words were all they could muster as they fought off the tears. They were all that was necessary. The two parties knew what had happened and experienced reconciliation that day.

Last Thursday, we finished up our fifth Point Break workshop with the Colonie freshmen. Next we are off to Berne-Knox-Westerlo where we will take every student grade 7-12 through our middle school and high school anti-bullying and suicide prevention workshops.

The programs are now BOCES approved, which will open the doors for many many more schools who have desired to bring this to their school but were too tight on their budget.

We look forward to seeing a positive in as many schools as possible both here in the Capital District and around the Northeast.
