Information
- Pink Shirt Day is this Wednesday. While we are not doing specific shirts for the school this year, we encourage students to wear their pink shirts from previous years. Alternately, you can buy shirts connected with the campaign at London Drugs or online, or you can wear anything pink that you choose. And really, it isn’t about the shirts. It’s about treating others with respect and kindness all the time. It’s about not just respecting, but celebrating diversity.
- The Youth Homelessness Initiative in Langley found success! In case you missed it, here’s the announcement of a Langley Youth Resource Centre.
