October is National Bullying Prevention Month In October at Hunter, we celebrate National Bullying Prevention Month and promote unity and inclusion within our school community. Students complete weekly activities/lessons that teach students the importance of ending bullying and how to be an upstander. Every staff and student sign an anti-bullying pledge and our halls are filled with anti-bullying banners that our students make. In addition, we host events and discussions that encourage kindness, respect, and empathy, fostering a positive environment where everyone feels valued. Together, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive school where bullying has no place and unity thrives. Please feel free to order a UNITY DAY SHIRT from the PACER'S website as they take 3-5 days to arrive or wear orange on October 16th. Your purchase of the $15 signature orange Unity Day t-shirt, featuring a word cloud design that embodies the qualities of UNITY, helps the National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC) continue to provide free bullying prevention resources to students, families, and educators. https://stcroixprint.com/pacer_unity_day/shop/home
