Bullying Prevention and Unity Day: October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. In support of this cause, schools across Hawaiʻi will celebrate Unity Day on Wednesday, October 16. We encourage all students and staff to wear ORANGE to promote kindness, acceptance, and aloha for everyone. (Our uniform policy is still in effect for students that do not wear an orange shirt.) Let's use this opportunity to have follow-up conversations with our children at home about the importance of being respectful and treating others with kindness. Together, we can create a more positive and inclusive learning environment for all.
