On November 29, Cameron Roux, of Atkinson, a seventh grade student at Sparhawk School, performed at “Stand Up to Bullying,” a program designed to educate, motivate and empower young people to promote social change in their schools and communities. The event was held at the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Cameron and his band, Poplert, performed their song “I Don’t Deserve This,” a song about people joining the stand against bullying. The band is passionate about this issue and has performed at other anti-bullying events, including “Bullied to Silence.” Sparhawk emphasizes a culture of kindness and encourages students to treat peers and adults with the kindness they deserve.

As a freshmen retreat leader, sophomore retreat leader, and Eagle’s Wings orientation leader, Collibee has fully embraced the spiritual mission of the Prep.
