Unity Day Against Bullying
Unity Day fosters the belief that all youth should be safe from bullying and encourages everyone to wear the color orange in support of bullying prevention.
On Wednesday, October 19th, students, parents, and school staff across DoDEA are invited to join us in a unified show of support by wearing orange. For DoDEA, it is a day we stand together and send a message that we care about our students’ physical, mental, and emotional health.
