Students from W.P. Sandin High School and Shellbrook Elemen- tary School united on Wednesday, Feb. 26 to send a strong message for Pink Shirt Day – an annual day, observed by schools across Canada, that raises awareness about the effects of bul- lying, and focuses on stamping out bullying once and for all. The message this year was one of encourage- ment, calling on stu- dents to “lift each other up.” “[It’s] a simple but powerful message en- couraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things that make us unique,” W.P. Sandin principal Karisa Klaassen said in an email to parents ahead of the day. “When we lift each other up, we see past the things that separate us and see instead the things that unite us as people.” W.P.
