Students and Staff Stand in Solidarity in Honor of Unity Day
To help combat bullying and foster acceptance and inclusion, students and faculty from the Baldwin Union Free School District participated in an important national awareness event—Unity Day 2025. Initiated by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center, Unity Day encourages people worldwide to wear orange as a symbol of unity. The color represents safety and visibility, and its bright hue makes a powerful statement.
This year’s Unity Day was celebrated on October 22, coinciding with National Bullying Prevention Month—a dedicated period aimed at raising awareness and combating bullying in schools, communities, and online. Throughout this month, organizations motivate individuals to foster kindness, acceptance, and inclusion through a range of events and activities, including Unity Day.
At Plaza Elementary School, which proudly was awarded a No Place for Hate designation last spring, students and staff wore orange as a reminder to their peers that bullying has no place in their school. In addition, Plaza students and staff came together to show that kindness, inclusion, and respect are at the heart of who they are through their heartfelt morning messages to taking the No Place for Hate pledge.
