National Unity Day (against bullying) happens to be October 24th…our next half day…so we will recognize it Sheffield-style with a "BLUE & WHITE UNITY DAY"!! Students and staff are encouraged to wear BLUE, WHITE, or a combination of BLUE & WHITE.  This is not a have to, but an opportunity to show school spirit and stand together (united!) against bullying in our school and community. If you didn’t already know this, blue and white are our district's "school colors." This is a wear blue &/or white clothes day and not a hat day.  Makeup/hair dye are not permitted at school due to chemical/allergy concerns. Pride, Kindness, Acceptance, Inclusion, Peace….and UNITY!
