A “PINK”ie promise to Stand Up!
CEN has gone pink, or at least the staff are.
In an effort to make a statement that bullying and violence will not be accepted or tolerated, the staff and students located in the LS Eddy Memorial Complex are dressed in pink t-shirts for Pink Shirt day, today, Feb 28, 2018.
Pink Shirt 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 named Travis Price and David Shepherd rallied their friends to send a positive message. The next day, the halls were filled with students in pink t-shirts.
Pink Shirt Day started because two boys chose to do something about bullying rather than stand by and watch it happen. Now the movement is worldwide, educating and inspiring other to stand together and take action against violence and bullying.
