IWA raises awareness during Bullying Prevention Awareness Week

Incarnate Word Academy united with the rest of the nation to raise awareness and encourage others to take an active role in the bullying prevention movement. The entire IWA campus recognized Oct. 20-24 as Bullying Prevention Awareness Week.

Students, faculty, staff and parents wore orange on Wednesday, Oct. 22 in recognition of National Unity Day sending a message to "Make it Orange and Make it End." The school invited everyone to join their virtual Unity Day Facebook Event to show support.

The week also included classroom discussions, projects, posters, prayer in classrooms, daily announcements, and orange ribbons across campus lockers. In addition, students were given anti-bullying dog tags to show support for National Bullying Prevention Month. The dog tags state "Bullying Ends With Me."
