Media outlets in Central Oregon, including Central Oregon Daily, KTVZ, Bend Radio Group, KPOV, Horizon Communications, Oregon Public Broadcasting and the Source are banding together this week to share a message of support for the people affected by the tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary School Oct. 15.

We created this poster and social media images for use by anyone who wants to share it on their feeds, post it on their websites or print and put up at home or the office. “Kindness Matters” is inspired by Silver Rail’s slogan, “Where Kindness Matters.”

The back page of the October 22 Source will feature the poster — we hope you pull the page out and hang the poster in a window. We look forward to seeing the splash of purple all over town! For requests in other sizes, please email editor@bendsource.com.
