On Wednesday October 21st, students and staff members at Roslyn Elementary School wore orange to show support, hope, and unity that we are united against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Each student traced his or her hand on orange construction paper. Together, we united to place the labeled hands on a unity tree that is displayed in our school lobby.
Unity Day is a movement in which students recognize that the end of bullying begins with them. This is connected to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Month in October. It’s a time when communities can unite nationwide to raise awareness of bullying prevention through events, activities, outreach, and education. The goal is to raise awareness and increase understanding of how to respond to bullying.
