ISM chose to take a vow of silence against bullying. Around the world there are voices that aren’t heard, and on April 16, 2015 ISM students took a stand so others could be heard. Students in grades 6 through 12 wore masks and were silent for one entire day. We had over 70 students and staff members participate and it was a very powerful movement.
