Here we are in the last week of February, it is hard to believe the month of March begins on Friday!

This coming week we have Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, this is always a great reminder to treat others with kindness.

Come and chat with your child's teacher on Tuesday or Wednesday during our parent teacher conferences. Please note that we will also have our Scholastic book fair set up in the library during these times. All are welcome to come and browse the book fair and purchase items.

Friday is Healthy Hunger hot lunch and we will be having Boston Pizza. Orders must be in by Sunday.

Wishing all of our Titans Families a wonderful weekend!

Pink Shirt Day

In Canada, one in three students have reported being bullied (Bullying Canada, 2022). Both the victims of bullying and the bullies are at risk of higher rates of suicide (Holt et al, 2015, as cited HERE). These statistics highlight how serious the problem of bullying remains.

Pink Shirt Day is a day to wear a pink shirt or some token of pink to show support and stand up for the victims of bullying. We often talk about how to stand up to bullies, but what if your child is the one doing the bullying? This can be a very tough conversation to have if you know or suspect that your child may be perpetrating acts of bullying. Take the time to reflect with your child and understand from their perspective. Do not judge their actions. Some reasons kids may bully others include seeking attention from others, low self-esteem, or an inability to properly express their feelings (Stomp Out Bullying, 2022). Developing a trusting and open line of communication might be one way to help your child understand that bullying is not okay.

For tips on what you can do to help your child stop bullying and understand that bullying is not okay, check out this guide from GSACRD Voice below:
