Pink Shirt Day

On Wednesday, we celebrated Pink Shirt Day.  It was a sea of pink throughout the school as we took our stand against bullies.  It was a good reminder to me, that it's not just kids that are bullies, but adults too.  We all need to be careful of our words and actions towards others.
In class, we broke into 3 groups and took turns discussing what it would be like to be the bully, the bullied and the bystander.   The conversation was rich.   Following that, we chose 1 stance and wrote a poem from that perspective.  Some of the students will be reading their poems to the school during our monthly assembly!  Please feel free to come and listen. They are powerful.
