Pink Shirt Day

February 25, 2019
Pink Shirt Day is February 27th. Holy Name of Mary will regonize Pink Shirt Day on Friday March 1st, because we have so many students away Wednesday and Thursday. Pink Shirt Day started when David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. They took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school. Since then, the idea has only grown each year, with worldwide support and participation. Wear Pink this Friday and stand up against bullying!
