Unity Day was created by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, to come together in one giant orange message of hope and support.
The goal of Unity Day is to bring together youth, parents, educators, businesses, and community members across the nation to emphasize the message that bullying is not acceptable and that all students deserve to be safe in school, online, and in the community.


Our wonderful ALC staff created several opportunities for students to explore nature this quarter. (For many of our students, it was their first time at a state park.) Students signed up to go hiking at Quarry Hill or Whitewater. Our 9th graders also had the opportunity to study stream health at Whitewater by locking closely at macro invertebrates, turbidity, and temperature. And yet another class turned their nature findings into art! Thank you to Public Health and DNR for their partnership in these experiences and for helping students consider how nature can be a prescription for well-being.
