Take a stand for inclusive safe schools on October 5, 2011.
The annual National Safe Schools Day highlights students, teachers, schools and communities speaking out and taking action in building inclusive safe schools and spaces during Bullying Awareness Month in October.
Last year over 31 cities nationwide participated.
Organizations, k-12 schools, colleges and local communities took action on National Safe Schools Day with rallies, candle light vigils, student assemblies, classroom 
discussions, community service projects, letter writing campaigns, training’s, GSA events and also by wearing the color purple in support of safe schools and anti-bullying.
