Wear Orange! Anti– Bullying A nti-Bullying is very important to schools nationwide and the students within them. Here at Lee Pollard we participate in this special day to show others that it’s not cool to make others feel small. Bullying is a big unresolved issue everywhere and by doing our part in trying to stop it we make it a less likely chance to take place. Our school has been taking place in this this day for two years now and we make it as fun as possible for everyone to show we truly care about each and every one of the students that attend Lee Pollard High School. On anti-bullying day we have a lunch time activity with prizes and up beat music to go along with it. This year the lunch time activity was pin the heart on the unicorn to show we are each different and unique in our own ways, which is a good thing. 6 | The Growler This day is all about being kind and their support against bullying. considerate to others no matter “I think this is a very important prowhat. ject we are doing.
