Unity Day - oct 23 - wear orange

10/21/2019

Dear Turner Families,
As a district, we are recognizing and supporting World Unity Day on Wednesday October 23. During this day it would be great if everyone could wear orange or something orange to show we are together against bullying and UNITED for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. This day is important and also supports Turner’s vision of creating a space where everyone feels they belong. Students and staff are being asked to unite and wear something orange (a shirt, bracelet, ribbon, pants, shorts, socks, shoes, etc).. Here is a link for more information on Unity Day. https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp
