Tomorrow is Unity Day!

Unity Day was developed to help end bullying.  Kids every single day are being bullied and most feel like there is nothing that they can do to stop it.  We can end bullying if every parent and adult becomes informed!

How can you help spread the word(via National Bully Prevention Center):

What are your true colors when it comes to bullying? If you care about students who are bullied and want bullying to end, make your color ORANGE on Unity Day, Wednesday, Oct. 10. That's the day everyone can link together—in schools, communities and online—and send one large, ORANGE message of support to students who have experienced bullying. 

Ways to unite on Oct. 10: In your school, home or community: 1. Wear the color orange. 2. Write the word “UNITY” on your hand, on your notebook, or on a poster to hang in your locker or hallway 3. Set up a “unity” table. a. Hand out orange “unity ribbons.” (Create your own ribbons. Purchase a spool of ribbon at craft or dollar store. Cut into 12” strips. With black marker, on the ribbon, write UNITY, “The End of Bullying Begins With Me”, or create your own bullying prevention message) b. Give the opportunity to donate for the ribbons and send the proceeds to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center.  

Online: 4. On Oct. 10, update your Facebook status to “UNITY DAY, October 10th— Join the movement to make it orange and make it end! If you are being bullied, you are not alone. Unite and be a champion against bullying! 5. “Share” the Unity Day event with your friends.6. Post pictures of anyone wearing orange to this UNITY DAY Event page. 7. Sign “The End of Bullying Begins With You” Petition.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month! If your can't be involved in Unity Day, try to help spread the word in other ways.
