Jets, STOMP Out Bullying and Municipal Credit Union Name Patrick N. of Boonton High School Upstander of the Week

When you see someone being bullied and/or cyberbullied and you help them, you stop being a bystander and become an Upstander!

The New York Jets, STOMP Out Bullying and Municipal Credit Union have named 12th grader Patrick N. of Boonton High School in Boonton, NJ, this week's Jets Upstander of the Week.

Returning for 2018, the New York Jets will continue their anti-bullying school initiative called "Jets Upstander of the Week." For each of the 16 weeks during the season, the Jets will ask schools to submit a photo and description of a student that is an Upstander. The Jets will highlight one Upstander a week across their social media platforms and on the video boards during home games.

"Patrick is quick to help out other students especially in group work situations," said Principal Jason Klebez. "He has been helping a student who suffered a concussion and makes sure his friend is feeling included. He has also been great to other students by ensuring their ideas are taken into consideration and treating everyone with respect."

Through the organization's collaboration with STOMP Out Bullying, along with support from Municipal Credit Union, the Jets have provided co-branded educator prevention toolkits to over 1,250 schools in the tri-state area at no cost, conducted an annual Jets Tackle Bullying Symposium, created awareness through a robust PSA campaign and annually host an anti-bullying awareness day at MetLife Stadium on game day.
