Pink Shirt Day recognized in Thompson

 

On Wednesday, we wear pink.

 

The School District of Mystery Lake has events planned as part of Pink Shirt Day, an internationally recognized day to raise awareness of bullying in schools and the effects it can have on youth.

 

Burntwood School guidance counselor Ingrid Gosselin says that along with a district wide walk, there are various events for students to participate in.

 

“Our junior high teachers and students are promoting a pink bake sale. We are also going to ‘paint the playground pink’, so once we come back from our walk, we’re going to have activities in the playground, painting the playground pink. We’re also going to combine a jump rope for heart activity and skipping in the playground.”
