BES Goes Orange for Unity Day

Babylon Elementary School (BES) students wore orange in celebration of Unity Day on Wednesday, October 18. This national anti-bullying initiative stresses the importance of kindness, acceptance and inclusion.

Unity Day was created by Pacer's National Bullying Prevention Center to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying. At BES, each student wrote something they can do to be kind on an orange strip of paper, and each class used their strips to create a kindness chain. Then, the chains were brought to the cafeteria where they were assembled by the school’s Social-Emotional Learning Committee members and hung around the cafeteria.

The chain serves as a reminder each day to students of the many ways they can be kind and spread kindness at BES and beyond.
