6. Pink T Shirt Day is ​February 27, 2019
Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the
Internet. Each year, on Pink T-Shirt Day, I encourage all of you to wear something
pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere. Take the
message and remember it all year long.
It is so important that victims of bullying know they are not alone and there is help
and support available. Wearing a pink shirt on this day sends a strong message to
them that others care. Often, the simple act of wearing a shirt can start
conversations - conversations can be a big step towards healing and helping!

7. Mascara Wands Wanted!
Leadership would like to help the
environment and also support this
worthy cause. If it’s time to break
up with your mascara (which you
should do every 90 days because
of the bacteria growing inside),
bring in the washed brush for us to
send in!
Bring to Mrs. Carr’s room (16).
