Unity Day promotes acceptance

Posted

Hugh B. Bain Middle School and Garden City Elementary School celebrated National Unity Day October 25, which is during National Bullying Prevention Month. Unity Day is signified by wearing the color orange and promotes acceptance.

The two schools combined their Unity Day celebrations with the fifth-annual Cranston Goes Orange For No Kid Hungry day, a local food drive to benefit CCAP. In addition to the National Unity Day activities, the students had the opportunity to bring in a non-perishable food item.  

According to Sheri Brown Hamel, the celebration was a month-long event at Hugh B. Bain, promoted by the Project Respect students.

“All month long we promoted messages of kindness and acceptance at Bain. Students on Bain TV bean their morning segment with messages on serious facts about the harm that bullying causes, and turned things around on a positive note by showing video clips of acceptance and respect,” she said. “To bring the school together, Project Respect members promoted Unity Day and encouraged their classmates to wear orange on October 25, National Bullying Awareness Day.”
