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.
