Wear a Pink Shirt Day- Stand up to Bullying
Kindness Postcards that the children made for each other.
Every day, we are given the opportunity to encourage others with the words we say.
The premise of this book is to make us all aware that we either add to or take away from each other with the words we say. The more positive and encouraging the words we say to each other, the better we feel about ourselves.
Likewise, the more negative the words we say to each other, the more we "empty" others buckets, as well as our own.
Our Wear a Pink Shirt Day is a continuation of teaching the children about kindness and focussing on how we treat others.
