Yesterday we celebrated Unity Day! Members of our newly formed Budd Hope Squad created and ran lessons with their peers. The group discussed what Unity Day is and how to deal with and address someone who is bullying others. They also completed some team-building activities with their peers and created a unity paper chain with everyone in the school. Each student had to write something that you can do to make our school a more safe and inclusive place on the orange strips to create a unity chain.

Great work to our Hope Squad in leading these lessons and working to make Budd a more inclusive school!
