On February 23rd, Metepenagiag students and staff will be celebrating Bully Awareness Week by wearing a pink shirt. Pink Shirt Day began in Nova Scotia where two students stood up to bullying in their high school. A male student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. These students showed their support for him by buying pink shirts and encouraging other students to wear them. Click on Image Galleries to see us in pink!
