Students at Great Neck Road and Susan E. Wiley Elementary Schools in the Copiague School District were treated to a three-screen multimedia presentation that stressed the importance of creating unity out of diversity and coming together to foster a healthy, positive community. Using humor, familiar pop culture characters and actors, popular music, and clips from sporting events ranging from the X Games to the NFL, students learned the significance of making healthy choices, building positive relationships, and working together. Following the presentations, teachers were encouraged to speak with their students regarding the message of the assembly and what the students had learned.
The program, entitled Together, was created by Motivational Media Assemblies from Burbank California and ties into the monthly character education themes of each building.
