🧡 Standing Together for Kindness! 🧡
Today, students and staff across District Five wore orange in celebration of Unity Day — a national movement to promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, and to take a stand against bullying.
From classrooms to hallways and playgrounds, our schools were glowing bright with support and unity! Together, we’re building a culture where every student feels safe, valued, and respected. 💪✨ #WeAreD5 #D5Family
