Day of Pink T-shirts

The Canadian Red Cross Day of Pink is being held on April 8th, 2015. This event is about encouraging respect. The Day of Pink originated in Nova Scotia in 2007. Two students heard that a boy in their school had been picked on for wearing a pink shirt to school. The students decided to take a stand against this behaviour by encouraging their classmates to wear pink. The response was overwhelming. Since then other provinces have held their own Pink Day.
 

Once again, Bird's Hill School will be recognizing Day of Pink on Wednesday, April 8th. Staff, students and families are able to purchase t-shirts for $5.00. Please return the order form that was sent home by January 27th. Thanks for organizing this Ms Wasney. What a great way to show that we all stand for respect!
