Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Please remember to wear a pink shirt to stand up to bullies!

Pink Shirt Day originated in Canada when a boy wore a pink shirt to school and got teased for it. Two of his classmates saw what was going on and the next day they showed up to school with pink shirts to hand out to everyone in the school to show support for the bullied boy. If you see someone getting teased or bullied, be the one to stand up and do something about it!

This week we read Angus All Aglow by Heather Smith. Not only is it a wonderful story about the effect that kindness can have on someone who is hurting, it is also filled with wonderful language that leaps off the page. Click here to listen to the story.

In order to inspire kindness, Division 7 worked together to create this agamograph art. An agamograph is a series of images that change at different angles. It gets its name from the Israeli artist Yaacov Agam. This project was a true demonstration of the collaboration core competency. Each student coloured a section of the poster. As a group, we had to decide how we would colour it and what materials and shades we would use so that all the pieces would look the same. It was important for each member of the group to do their part to make it work.

We hope our project inspires kindness in the Cascade Heights community. Stay tuned for another upcoming Division 7 kindness initiative that we hope you will participate in…
