October is 🧡National Bullying Prevention Month. On October 21, 2026, as a school family, we will celebrate Unity Day! This is a day when we can come together to send a visible message of building community through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. The call to action is simple: wear and share the color orange. This vibrant statement serves as a conversation starter, demonstrating support for students who have been bullied and advocating for the prevention of bullying. Our core goal is to shift society from accepting bullying to actively addressing it through education and support. Unity Day is part of this initiative, aiming to promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. The date for Unity Day is Wednesday, October 21, 2026. The action for Unity Day is to wear orange to show hope and support. At JCTMS, students and staff are encouraged to wear orange items (like shirts, nail polish, socks, headbands, or shoelaces) with uniform bottoms. If you would like to purchase A Unity Day T-shirt, it can be purchased at the provided link: https://stcroixprint.com/pacer_unity_day/shop/home
