Healthy & Active in KPR

Today, we wear pink to stand up against bullying! On #PinkShirtDay we celebrate our differences and promote kindness and compassion to ensure our schools continue to be safe and inclusive places for all. It’s important that we stand up against bullying every day, all year long!
