Today is National Pink Shirt day and we made sure to honour this day at EC Montreal! We asked our staff and students to come dressed up in pink to show they are taking a stand against bullying and choosing kindness instead. Every year the EC Montreal team makes sure to get our students involved in celebrating Pink Shirt Day!
Many of our classes discuss the topic of bullying as part of the lesson and students are also asked to deliver a presentation on the different types of bullying and what we can do to create a bully-free zone in school.
It is such a beautiful thing to see so many wonderful messages of love, inclusiveness and support in the presentations and class projects.
The EC Montreal team served pink glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme. The students were so excited to get this special treat in class right before their break time. We took the time to talk about the significance of the pink shirt and the importance of being a buddy and not a bully.
We look forward to celebrating International Women’s Day next week and look forward to surprising our students with something special to mark this important day of the year! A day when we celebrate important women throughout history and to address the unfortunate fact that we still have a long way to go to attain equal rights for women.
Join us at EC Montreal and be part of this wonderful EC community, learning from each other and forming special bonds.
