Day of Pink - All grades

I forgot to mention this today. Tomorrow, April 11th,  is the International Day of Pink. The official website has this to say:
Day of Pink is the international day against bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia in schools and communities. We invite everyone to celebrate diversity by wearing a pink shirt and by organizing activities in their workplaces, organizations, communities and schools.

The TDSB and Terraview-Willowfield PS support raising the awareness about and the elimination of these problems in our schools. Please support this initiative tomorrow.
