Unity Day - October 22
Help build commUNITY
Kindness - Acceptance - Inclusion
Unity Day, started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center as a signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month, continues to grow every year as a representation of the desire to prevent bullying and unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Celebrated on the third Wednesday of October, the goal of Unity Day is to wear and share orange to represent our promise as youth, parents, educators, businesses, and community members to help build a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
United through Action
Next week, we invite you to take on the UNITY DAY 2025 CHALLENGE:
1) Walk/run one mile, decked out in orange, to show your commitment to creating safe, inclusive schools and communities. 2) Throughout the week, show one act of kindness, whether through school-led opportunities, or on your own. 3) Come together as one community at our 8th Annual Unity Day event on Wednesday, October 22 as we unite to promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Monday, October 20 - Celebrate Socktober! Help keep our friends without homes warm this winter by donating new socks (kids and adults). Boxes will be set up at all schools for collection and at the Unity Day event.
Tuesday, October 21 - Coins for Cancer! Drop your spare change into buckets to see which grade can raise the most money for cancer research. Boxes will be set up at all schools for collection and at the Unity Day event.
Wednesday, October 22- UNITY DAY! Wear and share ORANGE to show your support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Join together from 3:30-5:00pm at the back of the Junior High/High School to participate in the 1-Mile Fun Run, purchase cold treats from the Sidney Dairy Barn Moo-Mobile, and enjoy the company of our Unit Seven family and friends.
Thursday, October 23 - Compliment & Care: Show your care for those around you by giving a genuine compliment, or demonstrating a random act of kindness. See how far one act of kindness can go.
More than a Day While Unity Day 2025 is just one day, it serves as a catalyst for our entire commUNITY to come together with a visual statement that our words and actions matter. Today, and every day, we stand against bullying and commit to kindness, acceptance, and inclusion of all.
