Wednesday (April 10) is International Day of Pink.
Please wear a pink t-shirt/sweatshirt on Wednesday to celebrate diversity and raise awareness.
What have we been doing?We have been reading, talking and reflecting on Gender, Gender Identity and Gender Expression and will continue on with the conversations and primary-level reading materials this week.
From the Day of Pink website https://dayofpink.org/about/
"It is a day where communities across the country, and across the world, can unite in celebrating diversity and raising awareness to stop homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, and all forms of bullying.
The International Day of Pink was started in Nova Scotia when 2 straight high school students saw a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied. The 2 students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic & transphobic bullying. They decided to purchase pink shirts, and a few days later got everyone at school to arrive wearing pink, standing in solidarity. The result was that an entire school took a stand and began working together to prevent homophobic & transphobic bullying.
Looking forward to seeing all your pink on Wednesday!
