Bullying Prevention Awareness Week and Unity Day at IWA

​Incarnate Word Academy united with the rest of the nation by making it orange as students, faculty, staff and parents wore orange on National Unity Day to send the message, “Make it Orange and Make it End.” National Unity Day is recognized during Bullying Prevention Week, which was celebrated campus wide during the week of Oct. 19-23.

Guest speaker Michaela Flores, project turnaround coordinator with the Coastal Bend Wellness Foundation, talked to middle and high school level students about cyberbullying and Internet safety.

The week also included classroom discussions, projects, posters, prayer, daily announcements, and orange ribbons across campus lockers.

Students were given orange anti-bullying sunglasses to show support for National Bullying Prevention Month. The sunglasses state “Bullying Ends With Me.”
