COMMUNITY NEWS ITEM
On February 27th, Pink Day (also known as Pink Shirt Day) was celebrated in schools across the nation.
This event originally began in a small town in Nova Scotia. A ninth grader was being bullied for wearing the colour pink, so two boys took a stand by encouraging their peers to wear pink shirts in support of that bullied student.
This seemingly small act created a bigger movement and resonated with many, bringing forth much needed attention on bullying behaviour, the promotion of kindness, and the inspiration to be a hero (instead of a silent bystander) for others in need.
