Pink Shirt Day

Pink Shirt Day is an international commemorative day that highlights kindness, tolerance, and inclusion, and was inspired by a school in Berwick, Nova Scotia in 2006. Click here to read more about this initiative and the national organization that evolved in 2007.

Pink Shirt Day is marked annually on the last Wednesday in February (February 26 this year). The student Mental Health Council is asking students to notice kindness or find the kind in the hallways, classrooms, and campus of KES. When they see an act of kindness, they can use this form to fill out the name or names (multiple entries are permitted) of the kind person observed, as well as the act of kindness they witnessed. During our assembly this Wednesday, there may be prizes for those whose names were submitted in connection to a genuine act of kindness.

The student Mental Health Council requests a $2 donation from all students who choose to wear a pink shirt this Wednesday, February 26. The money will be donated to the Pink Shirt Day Canada organization which funds educational resources supporting inclusion, tolerance, and anti-bullying for schools. Thank you in advance for your support!
