Pink Shirt Day!

Today the staff and students at St. Augustine School wore pink shirts to show their belief in kindness and rejection of bullying! Pink shirt day began when a high school student in eastern Canada, wore a pink shirt to school on his first day of school. He was mocked and made fun of for wearing pink. Upon hearing this, some of his classmates were very upset. They went out and purchased as many pink shirts as they could and many students wore pink shirts to school the following day. Through their actions, they demonstrated solidarity with the student who was treated unfairly and they also showed that they reject bullying and the unfair treatment of others! Pink Shirt Day has grown in popularity and is celebrated in many countries around the world!
