🧡 Wear Orange: Stand Up for Healthy Relationships!
Did you know that February 24th is a day for us to come together and make a bold statement? We are wearing orange to shine a light on Teen Relationship Violence Awareness.
It’s about more than just a color; it’s about showing our peers that everyone deserves a relationship built on respect, trust, and safety. Whether you are in a relationship or just supporting your friends, your outfit on the 24th sends a message that our school is a safe space for everyone.
How You Can Get Involved:
Wear Orange: Grab your favorite orange tee, hoodie, or even just some orange socks!
Snap a Pic: Post a photo of you and your friends in your orange gear to spread the word.
Speak Up: Encourage a culture of "Support". Much like professional organizations "support" their communities through jobs and growth, we support each other by promoting healthy boundaries.
Be a "Good Fit": Practice kindness and ensure our school culture is a "good fit" for everyone to feel safe
