Pink Shirt Day 2017

Today is Pink Shirt Day, a day where we focus our attention on treating one another with respect and kindness. Our grade 2 and 5 students have been making announcements over the last couple of weeks reminding everyone to demonstrate caring towards others. We shared with students the ideas from the Real Acts of Caring web site, and they created a series of messages for our morning announcements.

Some sample messages from the grades 2 and 5 students:

  • “Performing acts of kindness boosts the positive energy of both the one who gives and the one who receives!”
  • “Real acts of kindness means doing something unexpected, done for no reason and without expecting anything in return.”

Staff are giving out hearts to students to record their acts of kindness or caring. I am enjoying reading them as they are posted up throughout the school.

We look forward to seeing acts of kindness and caring from all our students.

Take care
