(above) Mallory’s Army came to the Council in force with founder Dianne Grossman, mother of Mallory Grossman, a 12-year old Rockaway, NJ, girl who committed suicide in 2014, awarding trophies to her Soldiers of Strength, young girls who are spreading the word to fight bullying in our schools. Mrs. Grossman came back from Trenton that day where a bill she is championing, S-3433 “Mallory’s Law”, which adjusts anti-bullying laws to increase responsibility for parents, was passed by the Education Committee.
