qathet School District (qSD) students, board members and trustees, teachers and the school community, celebrated Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, February 26.

The qSD sent out a message to the community yesterday:

"Pink Shirt Day is more than a one-day event; it’s a reminder of the empathy, kindness, and respect we strive to practice and instill in our students every day. While this day is designated to stand against bullying, its true value lies in the lasting impact of the conversations and the actions it inspires.

“In our schools, students engaged in activities throughout the week that promoted belonging and inclusion, and took part in school-wide assemblies raising awareness about bullying, homophobia, and transphobia."
