Today is #PinkShirtDay & we wear pink to stand against bullying of all forms & in all spaces (school, work, home, public spaces, sporting events, etc.). Children are unique & are not mini-adults. It is our collective responsibility to ensure their rights are upheld & protected.

What a wonderful few days we had at Sharing Our Cultures Inc. The Rooms. So awesome to be part of this special event each year, view the spectacular student displays, and get to meet all the grade 6 students who visit our table. We all had a blast, especially our mascot Charlie!
