Activity One:
For their first No Place for Hate Activity on October 16th, 2024, AOE participated in Unity Day.  This year at AOE, each classroom has a student ambassador who is leading No Place for Hate Activities.  For Unity Day, students and staff were encouraged to wear orange to show unity against bullying and hate.  Student ambassadors helped students write what they could do to make AOE a safer and more welcoming place for all on orange strips.  The strips were made into chains and hung on campus to showcase a welcoming environment for everyone and the role everyone plays in building a positive climate on campus. 

Activity Two:

For their second activity, the No Place for Hate team organized Compassion Day as a meaningful way to conclude Kindness Week.  Compassion Day is designed to allow students to experience how others with disabilities, either physical or learning, experience their world through hands-on activities. All classes signed up to participate in a rotation of stations. These stations provided hands-on activities to allow students to see what it is like to have a visual impairment, hearing impairment, speech impairment, language-based learning disability and mobility/fine motor impairment.
