This week we celebrated the annual Pink Shirt. The story behind this day is meaningful and inspirational to people of all ages. We were so excited to see so many people not just in Grade 1 but in all of Ron Southern get dressed up in their best pink shirts and outfits to bring awareness to such an important cause...
Pink Shirt Day was started in Canada after a boy was bullied for deciding to wear a pink shirt to school. To watch the full story that we shared with students follow this link: https://youtu.be/gjmf3I1_ZhU
Global News interviewed Constable Tad Milmine who spends a lot of time in schools raising awareness for bullying about the continued importance of this day https://globalnews.ca/video/5004241/pink-shirt-day-5
As a class we spent a portion of our morning talking about what it means to bully someone and be bullied. We shared strategies that we have used as a class to help us when someone isn't being kind to us as well as new strategies that we could try. One of those strategies is called "IMATT"
Pink Shirt Day is a great way to begin the conversation of bullying with children and it is so important that we continue to talk about it with children to ensure they are feeling safe and being good friends to everyone around them.
