Green and gold turn to orange for Lynbrook’s Unity Day

The Owl community throughout all of Lynbrook Schools showed a united stance against bullying for the annual celebration of Unity Day on Oct. 15.
Anti-bullying messages were the theme of the day as students and staff alike traded their green and gold for orange. Students of all ages participated in various activities that promoted inclusion, kindness and empathy. South Middle School students took on the task of decorating dozens of puzzle pieces to illustrate one way they can show kindness, which were assembled to showcase the school’s unity. At the elementary schools, students and staff formed a sea of orange as they gathered outside to create a Unity Day-themed message.
