Day of Pink

Today was the Day of Pink.  Everyone at Linwood School was asked to wear pink to stand up to bullying.  This day started in 2007 when two high school students in Nova Scotia asked their peers to wear pink the next day when they heard a male classmate was getting bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school.

To get us thinking about bullying, we read a story called Tyrone the Horrible.  After the story, we came up with a list of things we should do if we were getting bullied.  We then signed the Pink Shirt to show that we believe that is is important to stand up to bullying.
