Day of Pink 2011

The Ascension Community celebrated Day of Pink on April 13. This is an International Event that is designed to promote inclusion and diversity . Students are asked to wear a pink shirt or some other pink  accessory as a reminder that bullying and discrimination are not acceptable.

The event began after a boy wearing a pink shirt to school in Nova Scotia was bullied.  Shortly after, the boys'  peers wore pink shirts to show the bullies that discrimination was not acceptable.

The action of those students soon captured media attention and now to mark the event and to promote the concepts of inclusion,anti-bullying and anti-discrimination Day of Pink is celebrated around the world.
