Caring and Safe Schools YRDSB

We are so proud to recognize the extraordinary group of Grade 3/4 students from Ms.I's class at Ballantrae Public School for their outstanding work on Bullying Prevention! They all received a Pink Shirt and certificates for their efforts. Way to go! @YRDSB

Over 90 YRDSB Grade 7 & 8 educators participated in our Anti-Sex Trafficking Professional Learning on March 7, 2023! #YRDSBAgainstST @YRDSB

Tomorrow is #PinkShirtDay! Wear your brightest pink shirt tomorrow so we can make YRDSB a sea of pink to show that bullying is not tolerated in our schools.

Are you in the YRDSB Staff Boardmaker group? You can find this activity for #PinkShirtDay there. DM me if you’re a YRDSB staff member with access to Boardmaker 7 and you want to join the resource sharing group. @goboardmaker

Happy #PinkShirtDay! Here are a few of our students from Ballantrae P.S. sharing a little history about Pink Shirt Day and what they do daily to spread kindness all over their school.🥰

We welcome Jordan Cullum from @HBKidsHospital to our school for a #pinkday assembly to learn about disability inclusion with the message "Imagine Everybody"! @yrdsbinclusion @YRDSB @elementary_gsa

One of the ways our Ss at @DPS_YRDSB recognized #PinkShirtDay this year was to create this wall of positive messages and lift each other up! Thanks to our GSA club and @msscolieri @DMusharbash @TheAnt1919

It's #PinkShirtDay! Let's #LiftEachOther up by celebrating our diversity and what makes us each unique! Together, we can continue to make the world a kinder place and put an end to bullying.

On this #PinkShirtDay let's encourage everyone to practice kindness and #LiftEachOtherUp. Today we wear pink today to show that we do not tolerate or accept bullying in any form. #antibullying #yrdsb
