Unity Day

By: Josh Riedy '31

On October 28th, we had Unity day at LMMS, where students from LMMS wore orange to show unity against bullying and show a “community through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.”

Unity day was started in October 2011 and was formed by the National Bullying Prevention Center. It was started with the idea that if everyone wore orange on one day in schools, it would create a community of kindness and resilience against bullying. The original date of Unity day was October 21st, but LMMS pushed it to the next Wednesday, because October 19th through 23rd was Spirit Week.

LMMS saw an incredible turn out for Unity Day, with many kids throughout all grades choosing to show solidarity in orange.
