Pink Shirt Day – Standing Together for Kindness and Against Bullying 

On Wednesday, February 25, we will proudly recognize Pink Shirt Day, a special opportunity to stand together against bullying and celebrate kindness. Students are encouraged to wear pink to show their commitment to creating a caring and inclusive school community. 

Keep the Pink Going on Thursday! 

We invite students and staff to wear pink again on Thursday as our Grade 5 students host a Pink Shirt Day Assembly in the afternoon. This promises to be a meaningful and inspiring event focused on kindness and featuring student reflections from their experiences at the TELUS Be Brave event. 

We are so proud of our students for leading important conversations about respect, empathy, and standing up for one another.
