A guest speaker from *Stand Up! Education Against Discrimination* visited our school to discuss the harmful effects of bullying and the positive impact that everyone can have in creating a more inclusive environment. To further highlight the importance of anti-bullying, Riverside School is dedicating this week to raising awareness about this issue. Today, we celebrated *Odd Socks Day*, an event that encourages students to embrace their individuality and uniqueness.
