Unity Day The Shore Way
Wear and Share Orange #UnityEveryDay
 
October 15, 2024, North Shore Middle School students wore orange to send a visible message of building commUNITY through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Anti-bullying themes are often reiterated at the North Shore Schools, but during the month of October students around the country are particularly encouraged to be kind to one another, be tolerant and accepting of everyone’s differences, and reach out to their peers to let them know that they are not alone.

During the month of October, communities nationwide join together to actively participate in National Bullying Prevention Month. Under the direction of North Shore Middle School guidance counselors Ms. Canzoniero, Mr. Jackson, Ms. Finning, Principal Dr. Ryan O’Hara, Assistant Principal Dr. Maram MaBrouk, and Social Worker, Ms. Toni Papetti, students united by wearing orange and participating in Unity Day. Additionally, the MS Student Council encouraged students to make beaded friendship bracelets with messages of kindness.

This is the first of many anti-bullying activities that will take place at the middle school this year. Many thanks to the MS PTSO, the guidance counselors, social workers, administration, and teachers who worked so hard to decorate the cafeteria and assist in all of the important Unity Day activities at North Shore Middle School.
