The High School will be continuing with this bullying-prevention program for this school year!

#DAY1--a staff and student-led philosophy that will serve to foster a building-wide atmosphere of kindness and inclusion.

This program was started a few years ago in Bergen County by the Tyler Clementi Foundation and has gained momentum throughout the state and country for use in schools, community groups, workplaces, and sports teams.

The premise is simple: the adults in the building make a “declaration statement” about behavior that is expected, as well as behavior that is unacceptable, and we all pledge to conduct ourselves accordingly. This includes seeking help when we witness unacceptable behavior occurring.

This notion is called being an #Upstander

Has your student taken their #Upstander Pledge yet?!?

Have them sign into their school account and click here! 😊

UPSTANDER PLEDGE

Which means it's a good time to reflect on the role that alcohol plays in our lives.

Most adults in the United States who drink alcohol drink moderately and without complications. At the same time, alcohol-related problems are among the most significant public health issues in the country. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects about 15 million adults in the United States, and an estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the nation.

According to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 13.4 million people ages 12 to 20 reported that they have had at least one drink in their lives. This includes:

• 6.4 million males ages 12 to 20
• 7.0 million females ages 12 to 20
• 144.0 million White people ages 12 and older
• 23.8 million Black or African American people ages 12 and older
• 1.4 million American Indian or Alaska Native people ages 12 and older
• 10.0 million Asian people ages 12 and older
• 4.1 million people of two or more races ages 12 and older
• 35.2 million Hispanic or Latino people ages 12 and older
