Alone you are a drop but in a team we form an ocean. Happy national unity day

Unity Day

October 18th

Unity Day is coming up soon.  It will be Wednesday October 18th this year.

This is a day that we celebrate kindness and raise awareness against bullying. This year’s theme is, “United in Kindness to Stop Bullying.” 

We will be doing a few simple things to celebrate Unity Day:

First, we encourage all staff and students to wear ORANGE or your "Weber United" shirts on Wednesday the 18th. If students don’t have those, another option would be to wear Orion shirts/hoodies/sweatshirts.

Second, we’d like you to show your Titan Time classes this short video explaining what Unity Day is. 

Unity Day

Third, we’d like students to write kind, positive messages to their peers.  We will provide a ziplock bag to put the messages in to return to the Counseling Center and then the messages will be put on poster boards to hang in the halls for students to see the messages written.  Students should write messages that are uplifting in any way but especially messages that promote kindness and inclusion.

Latinos in Action collecting socks and shoes

Help Latinos in Action collect shoes for a school in Oaxaca, Mexico

Collection ends Oct. 9th

The Latinos in Action is collecting NEW socks and USED shoes to donate to a nonprofit that helps a school and community in Oaxaca Mexico.  Many of the students aren't able to attend public schools because they can't afford uniforms, transportation, etc.  These children live in extreme poverty and most are not educated past the 4th or 5th grade.  

One thing they desperately need are used shoes and new socks for boys and girls ages 3-17.

Please deliver shoes/socks to Mr. Reese in Room 100 or to any member of the Latinos in Action by October 9th.

Your Story Matters: Tackling Tough Subjects. Inspiring Healthy Conversations. CORY GREENWOOD

Your Story Matters:
Tackling Tough Subjects. Inspiring Healthy Conversations.
CORY GREENWOOD

Studies show that suicide among youth is at an all-time high. Teens are struggling to find a sense of belonging. Now, more than ever, it is so vitally important to empower and encourage our youth to rise above their current circumstances. Your students will leave this assembly with a renewed self-image  and the resilience to handle adversity. They will be empowered to take responsibility for the solution instead of focusing on the problem.

*Suicide is discussed in this program

"He changed the way I look at my life and helped me see how everything I do can impact so many people.” -High School Student

STUDENTS WILL LEARN TO

✓ Find a mentor and engage in healthy conversations

✓ Be resilient through adversity & push past limiting beliefs

✓ Focus on solutions instead of dwelling on problems

✓ Appreciate the people in their life

✓ Make positive decisions

Assembly is September 5th in the gym from 1:15-2:25 pm.  Parents are welcome to attend.
