Sea of pink at Christ the King! 🩷

Don't forget to wear pink tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 28 in support of Pink Shirt Day! It all started with a shirt... In 2007, students at a high school in Nova Scotia wore pink in solidarity with a Grade 9 student who had been bullied the previous day for wearing a pink shirt. Led by David Shepherd and Travis Price, what started as an act of kindness towards one person, has grown into a worldwide anti-bullying movement. Countless children and youth have been helped by funds raised by #PinkShirtDay. When you wear pink this February 28, you'll be in good (hearted) company! 🩷🩷🩷
