Pink Shirt Day–What’s It All About?
Today marks Pink Shirt Day across Canada.
What is Pink Shirt day all about? It all began when a boy in the 9th grade wore a pink shirt on his first day of school in Nova Scotia. He was made fun of and was picked on because of this. A few boys saw what happened and decided to do something about it. They bought 50 pink shirts and distributed them for others to wear. By the end of the week, most students in the school were wearing pink to show support for the boy who was made fun of.
We looked at several quotes today and discussed what they meant and why they are always important, not just today.
Here’s a look at some of the ones we discussed today:
- Kindness–it costs nothing but means everything
- We rise by lifting others
- Kindness begins with me
- Kindness is the mark we leave on the world
- Throw kindness around like confetti
- If you can anything, be kind
We designed some of our own pink-tshirts today too.
We revisited this poster called THINK. It’s a great acronym to remind ourselves how we can be kind to others when it comes to our words…
