Superintendent León and West Side High School Principal Akbar Cook welcomed New York Jets Defensive Tackle Solomon Thomas, representatives of the New York Jets, STOMP Out Bullying, and The Defensive Line organizations to the high school on Oct. 1, the first day of National Bullying Awareness Month.

To support students in a mental health crisis, Thomas and his mental health advocacy organization, the Defensive Line, the New York Jets, and STOMP Out Bullying teamed up to make $22,500 available to create a Wellness Room at West Side High School. When completed, the Wellness Room will offer a safe, supportive, stress-free environment where students can emotionally regulate, recharge, and prioritize their well-being.
