ECI Celebrates "Pink Shirt" Day

ECI Celebrates "Pink Shirt" Day

Making
According to the Red Cross web page, "Pink Day started in 2007, when a Grade 9 student in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied by classmates for wearing a pink shirt to school. Taking notice, two students rallied their peers to send a message to the bullies. The next day, the halls were filled with students in pink T-shirts.
"
 
There were many pink shirts and pink ribbons worn by students and staff at Erickson Collegiate in April 10th. The GSA group provided a hot pancake breakfast for all staff and students to promote acts of kindness and inclusiveness.  The group also created a jeopardy game and challenged students in the area of human rights and mental health. Special thanks to the GSA for their leadership and Mr.Waterman for his help in the kitchen.
