The National Day of Silence took place here at our school last Friday, April 17th. Our school had a total of 65 students participate. The GSA said that next year we might have more participation if we advertise and promote it better. There are so many things you can take away from this event. Stephanie Moran said, “You can take away the fact that bullying stinks and nobody should die from it. " Katy Campbell said, “You should respect people no matter what life choice they decide to live. There is no right or wrong answer to who you are. Just be yourself and embrace life.” There were mixed opinions on how hard it was to be silent. Most students agreed that it was easy up until lunch where they were surrounded by friends and faced temptation. Students participated in this event to make people aware of bullying and making fun of people for being different. Katy Campbell said, “ I decide to participate in this event because I think it will help people come out their shell and not be judged.” A lot of students said their favorite part about participating was not having to talk to people and not having to read out loud in class.
