Encouraging Unity
When students, peers and adults recognize and respond to bullying
behavior, a powerful message is sent that it is not acceptable. To share
in that message, middle schoolers wore orange to signify their stance
on Unity Day on Oct. 24.
The theme of the day was to unite against bullying and all social
studies classes in the school viewed a Powerpoint and video
presentation, detailing the nationally recognized event that promotes
kindness, acceptance and inclusion.
Seventh-grade teacher Monica Consalvo, who annually coordinates the
schoolwide campaign, helps to reinforce the strong message of
anti-bullying programs.
“We want students to embrace Unity Day’s message and make the commitment to be accepting of people’s differences,” she said.
