Today is Pink Shirt Day! – This event was organized in 2007 by two grade 12 students named David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia. David and Travis bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a ninth-grade student Chuck McNeill was bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt during the first day of school at Central Kings Rural High School in Cambridge, Nova Scotia.
Today, along with the rest of Canada, we celebrate these courageous students and everyone who has stood up to bullying.
If you are wearing pink, please join us in the lobby at morning break for a group photo.
Remember, please be kind to one another.
