Press Release

Greendale, WI, Jan. 14, 2013 — Greendale Against Bullying (GAB Now), is pleased to announce that we have entered into a partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools and the Greendale School District in order to help prevent and effectively combat bullying within the school districts.

GABNow is a unique community-based, non-profit, student-advocacy group that has formed in response to the recent high-profile incidents of bullying in our community and across the country. GABnow is comprised of residents from all walks of life who care about the emotional and physical health of our students. Taking a

PROACTIVE approach to combating and preventing bullying will help to eliminate the old attitudes that bullying is acceptable. Together with our children, parents, students, administrators, educators, local law enforcement, businesses and community organizations we will help educate, prevent and provide the tools necessary to stop bullying. Awareness and education are key elements to helping our children find these solutions

GABnow will be an alternative source for students and parents to seek help in cases of suspected bullying. President Linda Lee said, “Having a working partnership with the school districts will help our organization, the schools and the community as a whole. Working together will have a direct and positive impact in addressing the issue of bullying.”
