Pink Shirt Day (Anti-Bullying Day) celebrated across NSD
Posted on March 1
Father R. Perin School students decked out in Pink in recognition of Pink Shirt Day (Anti-Bullying Day)
Northland School Division (NSD) staff, students and, central office staff wore pink shirts in recognition of Pink Shirt Day - Anti-Bullying Day. Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when two teens in Nova Scotia noticed a younger student in their school being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to class. To show their support, the students bought pink shirts and gave them to students and teachers at their high school to wear on the same day. Since then, Pink Shirt Day is celebrated internationally to promote bullying prevention and healthy relationships. NSD's participation in events like Pink Shirt Day is an example of our commitment to providing a welcoming, caring, respectful, safe and healthy learning and working environments that respect diversity and fosters a sense of belonging.

Anzac School - Bill Woodward School hosted a big Pink Shirt Day celebration. They had all of the students and staff come together for a big lunch in the gym, as well as played a large game of 'Rock Paper Scissors Cheerleader!' While eating lunch, the students wrote on rainbow strips of paper what it meant to be a good ally. These strips were stapled together to form a chain in the hallways, where they will continue to add to it throughout the school year!
