LISBON — Today, Lisbon High School will present “Everyone’s Someone Day” in conjunction with the national Spread the Word to End the RWord Campaign, another activity sponsored by Lisbon’s Project UNIFY Team.

The focus for the day is to recognize that Everyone is Someone and we need to share that with positive words instead of words that are hurtful and mean, states a release from the school. “Students and staff will agree to wear a nametag describing who they are without using their names. Everyone is someone special and sharing something about themselves will promote a positive image and allow students and staff to connect with others that may have something in common with them.”

“Everyone is a friend, a sister, a brother, a student, a dancer, a musician, a basketball player, etc.,” the release continues. “Everyone’s someone and has the right to be treated with respect.”

There will be a chance throughout the day for students who want to pledge their support by signing a large poster and/ or going online to pledge to end the use of hurtful words, specifically the “R” word. All students and staff who participate will be entered into a raffle for items such as T-shirts and bracelets at the end of the day.
