On Oct. 22, 2025, students and staff at Medina High School joined thousands of schools nationwide to celebrate Unity Day.

Wearing and sharing orange — the official color of Unity Day — participants sent a powerful message against bullying and showed that every student deserves to feel safe, supported and valued.

Throughout the day, classrooms and hallways were filled with bright orange apparel and positive energy. The simple act of wearing orange symbolized a united stand, reminding everyone that even small gestures of kindness can have a significant impact.

Unity Day is organized by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, which encourages schools to make kindness and unity part of their culture every day.
