Students support Pink Day anti-bullying campaign ข้อมูลแผนที่ ©2012 - ข้อกำหนดในการให้บริการMap The Toronto District School Board is encouraging students and staff to take part in the international Day of Pink to combat bullying.
"Show your support against bullying and for tolerance," the TDSB said on its website.
Wearing something pink on April 13 has been an annual event going back five years when two students from Nova Scotia witnessed a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied at their school.
They intervened but wanted to do more, so they bought pink shirts, and so did two of their friends and two of their friends. A few days later, just about everyone at the school showed up wearing pink, sending a message that together they can stop bullying.
Members of Summit Heights Public School's Grade Six Leadership Team are wearing pink shirts they decorated themselves. They have also braided 350 pink bracelets for students.
East York Collegiate Institute students are throwing off their usual uniforms for the day to create a sea of pink clothing.
Toronto Const. Tom Decker will speak to students at York Memorial Collegiate Institute, while Pink Day buttons and pink baked goods will be sold during lunch. Student art, poetry and stories about LGBTQ issues will be on display.
The board is encouraging its students and staff to share their thoughts on how they're marking Pink Day on its Facebook page, www.facebook.com/toronto.dsb.
