National Pink Shirt Day, was established in 2007 in Nova Scotia, Canada. It happened after students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, saw one of their fellow students being bullied for no other reason than that student was wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. In a stroke of brilliance, these two boys came together and decided to show support for the student by getting everyone to wear a pink shirt the next day. As a result, Pink Shirt Day was created to stomp out all bullying and spread understanding, and it’s a concept spreading throughout the world. What started in a small corner of Canada has become a world event and we here at SJN want to encourage all of our students to wear PINK on Wednesday, February 28th, in support of anti-bullying awareness!
