Globetrotters bring anti-bullying message to Springfield schools

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - The Harlem Globetrotters brought their anti-bullying message to Springfield school children on Wednesday.

Globetrotter Cheese Chisholm told the third, fourth and fifth graders at the Mary M. Lynch Elementary School that it's not cool to be a bully. Chisholm told 22News that he had been bullied when he was a student.

“Everyone has at one time been bullied. My job is to tell the kids it's not really good to be a bully, and to help the kids who are being bullied,” Chisholm said.

Earlier in the day, Chisholm brought the same message to hundreds of students at Springfield's Frank H. Freedman Elementary School.
