HAPPY PASSOVER and HAPPY EASTER
A reminder that next weekend is a long weekend – there is NO SCHOOL on Friday April 3rd or Monday April 6th. We will see everyone again on Tuesday April 7th.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PINK
Day of Pink is the International Day against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia and Transphobia in schools and communities. We invite everyone to celebrate diversity by wearing a something PINK on Wednesday April 8th, 2015. (And Grade 5 and 6 students who will be at the Island/Natural Science School, don’t forget to take something pink to wear today!)
The International Day of Pink is a day of action, born when a youth in a high school in Cambridge, Nova Scotia was bullied because he wore a pink shirt to school. His fellow students decided to stand up to bullying; and hundreds of students came to school wearing pink to show support for diversity and stopping discrimination, gender-based bullying, homophobia and transphobia. The Huron Public School and the TDSB encourages staff and students to wear pink in support of diversity.
The International Day of Pink is more than just a symbol of a shared belief in celebrating diversity – it’s also a commitment to being open minded, to being understanding of differences and to learning to respect each other.
