Pink Day and a Wonderful Breakfast....


Wear the Shirt. Be the Difference
On April 11, 2012 people province wide will be wearing pink shirts to bring awareness to bullying issues and what we can do to create a safe and respectful environment in our communities. 
Why Pink? Pink Shirt Day is an engaging way to get students thinking about bullying and about what they can do to create a safe and respectful environment in their school. This initiative started in 2007 when two high school students in Nova Scotia took a stand against bullying. By asking all of their peers to wear pink to school in support of a male classmate who had been bullied for wearing a pink shirt, they created a grassroots campaign that has attracted worldwide attention.  All students at Taylor School were encouraged to wear Pink and take an active stand against bullying. 
We were also lucky enough to have a very healthy and nutritious breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola bars, and muffins, all supplied by Gord and the staff from Extra Foods . Thanks so much for the  breakfast!
