Think Pink
On February 27, 2013 schools across Canada will take a stand against bullying by encouraging their teachers and students to wear something pink. A related anti-bullying campaign will be taking place in the US with International Stand Up to Bullying Day on February 22, 2013.
Pink Shirt day has its origins in an event organized in 2007 by two Grade 12 students, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on his first day of school.
Interested in creating a lesson-plan based around the topic of bullying? Here's a comprehensive list of books that cover the issue, including fiction & nonfiction titles.
