This Wednesday, Feb. 26 is National Pink Shirt Day, which is a movement to stand against bullying. This event began in 2007, inspired by an act of kindness from two high school students who noticed a new student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. They decided to take action. They bought 50 pink shirts and encouraged their peers to wear them in solidarity. The next day, many students showed up in pink, creating a powerful statement against bullying that has continued to grow since then. This Wednesday, we encourage everyone (students, staff, parents) to wear pink and find ways to spread kindness. Let's stand together against bullying and promote kindness and inclusivity!
In support of Elsie Wiemerslage and her family, our district is raising funds for Elsie's bucket list items by having a HAT DAY this Thursday, Feb. 27! Please wear a hat and make a donation to show your love & support!
