NYJTL at I.S. 61

Students of all ages can encounter bullying in many places and in a variety of forms. Every October, schools, and organizations across the country join together in observing National Bullying Prevention Month. They join together in order to spread information, help educate others, and raise awareness to prevent it from happening. Our students and Leadership Staff worked together to create a video in order to spread awareness. This video was shown in our Lights-On Afterschool showcase #NYJTLLightsOn

Our students and Leadership Staff worked together with the day school to create a video shown to parents in order to help others differentiate between conflict and bullying. This also helped spread awareness about the topic. The video was shown in our Lights-On Afterschool showcase and then shown at a special assembly during day school #NYJTLLightsOn

This past month, during our Robotics class, our students worked on building different types of claw machines. This is the outcome showcased at our Lights-On afterschool showcase. #NYJTLLightsOn

We want to take the opportunity to thank all the parents, family, and friends that came to our "Lights On Afterschool" showcase event demonstrating the creative talents that our children bring to afterschool every single day. We want to thank you all for you constant support and hope you thoroughly enjoyed the performances, art, videos, and displays filled with the ideas and innovations that our youth have generated with the support of staff and peers. #NYJTLLightsON
