Students across the Middle Country Central School District sported the color orange and held various activities in honor of Unity Day. This day is organized nationwide by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and is celebrated as a signature event for bullying prevention month.
“Unity Day is a day to raise awareness for our students to promote solidary amongst each other and to stand against bullying,” said Dr. Roberta Gerold, Superintendent of Schools. “It was inspiring to see schools in our District celebrate Unity Day in their own special way and students, faculty, and staff sporting orange attire in a unified message of togetherness.”
Students created unity chains out of orange construction paper to drape across the hallways as a symbol of togetherness and to show that they are linked together. Students talked about what bullying is, how to stand up to bullying and how to get help when needed to fight back against bullying.
