Pink Shirt Day- Bullying Stops Here!
A bully is a person who habitually hurts other people physically and/or emotionally.
Bullying is a kind of bad/aggressive behaviour that can include emotional, verbal, and physical abuse.
"Pink Shirt Day began in Nova Scotia in September 2007 as 'Stand Up Against Bullying Day' when a high school student arrived at school wearing a pink shirt. A group of about 10 kids called him gay and wanted to beat him up. Two older students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, witnessed the event and the next day showed up at school with 75 pink shirts, a pink basketball and material to make pink head and arm bands to spread around the school. Within 2 days, over 400 kids were wearing pink. The bullies were made powerless." From Sir Charles Kingford- Smith Elementary newsletter.
Please show your support by wearing something
pink on that day.
