October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Keeping kids safe from bullying is critical to their well being. Focusing on class unity can help keep your students ready to learn!

To get kids out of their chairs and focused on being kind to each other, the Pacer Center suggests the Unity Dance. The dance is choreographed to Tristan McIntosh's song, "You Can't Take That Away From Me." 

Looking for other ways to promote anti-bullying?

• The Sit with Us App is available on iTunes. The app helps kids to find others to eat lunch with so they don't have to eat alone. 
• Anti-bullying benches, or buddy benches, provide a place for kids to sit when they need a friend. 
• The Pacer Center has other ideas for communicating the message of unity to your students! 

ActivEd is excited to celebrate Unity Day 2016!
