Orange is the color that signifies support for students who have been bullied. To commemorate National Bullying Prevention Month, Ridgefield students pledged their support by signing special anti-bullying banners in their school. The orange wristband each student received in return demonstrates their support against student bullying — a symbol of unity they can wear for the entire month.
