A Day Without Hate - We are excited about our April spirit day A Day Without Hate on April 23. A Day Without Hate is a student-led movement promoting nonviolence, unity, and respect in schools. We believe that every individual deserves a safe and respectful environment, and we strive to create a culture of empathy, understanding, and unity through our student-led efforts. Our student council is planning different activities that will focus on spreading kindness, unity, and empathy! We would like all students to wear white. What started as a single day of unity has grown into a powerful movement, reaching tens of thousands of students across the globe who come together to say they will not tolerate violence or hate, and instead choose to reach out to friends and classmates with the message, "We're all in this together."
