October is National Bullying Prevention Month. It’s a time when communities can unite nationwide to raise awareness of bullying prevention through events, activities, outreach, and education.
The PACER organization created the campaign in 2006 with a one-week event, which has now evolved into a month-long effort that encourages everyone to take an active role in the bullying prevention movement. PACER’s website has a variety of resources for use during October — and throughout the year — to engage, educate, and inspire others to join the movement and prevent bullying where you live.
One of the activities is Unity Day. If you care about students who are bullied and want bullying to end, wear the color ORANGE on Unity Day, Wednesday, Oct. 23rd. That’s the day everyone can link together—in schools, communities and online—and send one large, ORANGE message of support to students who have experienced bullying.
