Parkside’s Kindness Crew led a schoolwide read-aloud of The Kindness Quilt by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. After listening to the story, students created their own quilt squares showing how simple acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day. The finished quilt will be displayed at Parkside in honor of Unity Day, celebrated districtwide on October 22 as part of National Bullying Prevention Month.
Unity Day provides an opportunity for our schools to share positive messages of anti-bullying and focus on kindness and inclusion. Orange is the symbolic color for the day as it represents autumn when Unity Day occurs and it signifies safety.
We invite everyone in our community to join us in wearing orange on Unity Day and promoting kindness and inclusion every day.
