On Wednesday, February 26, 2014, there was a sea of pink at Arrow Heights Elementary School. The reason for this ocean of fuchsia was to raise awareness of what bullying is, and what we can do to prevent it. We wore pink because a boy at a high school a few years ago was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. His story spread, and now we all wear pink shirts every year on February 26.
Here are photos of this celebration at Arrow Heights Elementary School:
