Schools around the district will be marking Pink Shirt day today. Pink shirt day started when two friends decided to stand up to a grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. The creators of Pink Shirt Day, David Shepherd and Travis Price, stood up for this student and started a worldwide movement to recognize and combat bullying. Huy ch q’u (thank you) to all of those that recognize this day.
