The Lynbrook Schools community traded their green and gold for orange on Oct. 16 as they took a stance against bullying in an annual recognition of Unity Day. 

Teachers, staff and students donning orange turned hallways and classrooms into a sea of anti-bullying symbolism. Each building throughout the district participated in activities that promoted kindness and understanding while teaching ways students can stand against bullying. At South Middle School, for example, students started the day by decorating their class doors with anti-bullying messages in a friendly competition. At Marion Street Elementary School, a kindness tree was covered with orange leaves made of craft paper contributed by each student in the school, while a kindness wall at West End Elementary School encouraged students to be the “I” in kindness. Additionally, schools gathered outside to stand as one an promote an Owl-themed message, such as an infinity symbol made by the more than 400 students who attend Marion Street. #OwlProud #OwlCares
