On Wednesday, Feb. 22 students at Granite Ridge celebrated a day of diversity, inclusivity and acceptance by wearing pink. Pink Day is celebrated across Canada and inspired by two Nova Scotian students who stood up for a peer being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. They purchased as many pink shirts as they could and brought them to school the next day and distributed them to other students to wear and make a statement to everyone that bullying wouldn’t be tolerated in their school. Here at Granite Ridge we see kindness and thoughtfulness everyday towards students and staff and appreciate those promoting goodwill to all. This year’s pink shirt design was the artwork provided by elementary student Lexi DesRoche.
