Today is Unity Day. On the third Wednesday of October, we wear and share the color orange because it is a color associated with safety and visibility.
For years, bullying was justified with expressions such as, “Bullying is a natural part of childhood,” “Bullying makes kids tougher,” or “Bullying is a rite of passage.” The goal of Unity Day is to bring together youth, parents, educators, businesses, and community members across the nation to emphasize the message that bullying is not acceptable and that all students deserve to be safe in school, online, and in the community.
For too long, the response to bullying has been silence and those who were bullied felt that no one cared. The simple act of wearing orange shows that youth experiencing bullying are not alone. The goal of wearing and sharing orange is to empower those who are bullied, and everyone around them, to speak up and reach out with kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
THANK YOU to everyone who wore orange today to say that bullying is not ok. Tigers always #CHOOSEKINDNESS.

Each year on the second Monday of October, our nation honors Indigenous Peoples by commemorating the heritage of Native American people. It’s a day to recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous communities and it's a time to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native people in the U.S. today.
We celebrated Indigenous Peoples' Day by wearing our favorite Native American t-shirts, ribbon skirts or shirts, or other school-appropriate American Indian attire. Check out these awesome TIGERS!
October is National Bullying Prevention Month and a featured event is Unity Day on Wednesday, October 16th! Wear orange to show your support for bullying
prevention and to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
