🎉 Unity Day Announcement 🎉
October is Bullying Prevention Month, and tomorrow, October 22nd, is UNITY DAY!
Unity Day is a powerful reminder that schools across the nation stand together to promote kindness, inclusion, and safety for all students. It’s a time to take a stand against bullying and show that everyone deserves to feel respected, valued, and supported at school.
At Oak Grove, we’re proud to be upstanders! Let’s show our unity by wearing orange tomorrow—the official color of Unity Day. Whether it’s a shirt, a ribbon, a bracelet, or something you’ve created yourself, anything orange will show your support for a safe and caring school community.
Let’s fill our school with orange and send a powerful message of hope, strength, and solidarity.
We can’t wait to see a sea of orange tomorrow! 🧡
Let’s make it a day to remember!
Sincerely,
Ms. Brown
School Counselor
