The freshmen students and their mentors are working on a public service announcement for anti-bullying awareness. The video will be shown every day during the morning announcements.

High school counselor Elizabeth Manley said, "One of the big things with bullying is bystanders. So what we want to do to change the way of thinking is to create up-standards and that's our goal today is to change our climate and work against bullying."

Several students and teachers also wore orange as a way to show they are united in the battle against bullying.
