October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. The purpose is to educate our community about this important issue — and to teach effective strategies in response to bullying.
.
Today’s bullying prevention topic is “UNITY DAY!!” Unity Day aims to bring our community together in support of bullying prevention. Bullying is UNACCEPTABLE — and ALL students deserve to feel safe in school, online, and in the community.
.
Tomorrow is UNITY DAY here at WMS. All students and staff are encouraged to wear the color ORANGE to show their support. It’s all about Kindness, Acceptance and Inclusion. Together, we can stand up to bullies.

And finally, today is the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month — a time to recognize the millions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

And now, please stay tuned for this Hispanic Heritage Month video, which highlights an incredible Hispanic American woman whose contributions to our society are often overlooked.
