Day of Pink!

Today, BHS celebrated "Day of Pink". We started out the day with an assembly hosted by Ms. Dodds' Grade 3/4 class and Mr. Moffat's Grade 4 class. It was awesome to see so many staff and students wearing PINK!

If you're not sure of the history of the day and why it's important, then here goes . . .

Day of Pink began in 2007 when 2 high school students in Nova Scotia witnessed a new male student being teased about wearing a pink shirt. That evening, the two boys bought 50 pink t-shirts and brought them to school the next day and handed them out to classmates. And now, it is an international phenomenon; celebrated all over!

Today, following the assembly, Room 31 students watched a live feed hosted by Manitoba Red Cross. Travis Price, one of the founders of Day of Pink was chatting with students from all over Manitoba via Skype. Blue Bomber player Matt Bucknor also spoke about the importance of making a difference for someone else.

Travis spoke at WE Day this past year, and there is a display in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights all about the Day of Pink!

We really should remember to choose kindness and to stand for respect each and every day! What is something you can do to make a person's day?!

Stand for Respect!

On April 8^th it was day of pink the day we stand up for bullying. Day of pink started when a kid in high school in Nova Scotia got bullied for wearing a pink shirt 2 other kids took a stand and bought 50 pink shirts and told everyone to wear it to stand up for bullying

Today we made pink bracelets for anyone who didn’t have pink.

We did a day of pink activity! It was where our class picked slips some people got to be the bully, the bullied or the bystander. Then we had to share our feelings with the others in our group. Then we had to do a poem about what we would feel if we were an actual bully, bystander or bullied and most people shared what they wrote in their poem, they either read it out loud themselves or made Ms.wasney read it.

Overall it was another awesome Day of pink like always!

Day of Pink

Today (April 10) is international day of pink. We celebrate it because in Nova Scotia there was a new kid in high school that got bullied by 2 other kids and 2 kids saw that he was getting bullied. The kids that saw it happen went to the store the next day and bought 50 pink shirts. All the boys took a shirt and that was the start of day of pink. We celebrated by making bracelets and badges. Conner’s bracelet has bullying with a no symbol. It also has say no to bullying, think pink and take a stand. Michael’s has a bunch of things about saying no to bullying like anti-bullying. On Conner’s badge he has things like say no to bullying, be a star, anti-bullying and stop bullying. On Michael’s badge he has a star that says be a star and don’t bully! For the big activity we had to draw what character we would have to play as. There was the bully, the bullied and the bystander. We were both part of the bullied group. We had to discuss what we were feeling and what our reasons were. We said that we were feeling sad and just wanted to cry in a corner. The reasons part is where we had to think of why we were getting bullied. We both thought of 4 things. Our reasons were we don’t look like everyone else. 2 was we have an accent and the third one was what they wore. The 4^th one is that we were a different height. We made a poem after to talk about how we feel. It was cool walking in a bullied persons shoes but the character we played wasn’t happy. We learned a lot about bullying today.

International Day of Pink!

Today, we all wore PINK with pride to take a stand against bullying. In 2007, a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Two bystanders saw what was happening and then stopped the bullying. The next day, pink shirts were handed out for students to wear. Now, on the Day of Pink, people wear this colour to remind others that anyone can be bullied . . . but, if we stand together, we can make bullying stop. In our class, several students wore pink, plus we made wristbands to wear for the day.
