Pink Shirt Day at Pratt (February 28rd) Dear Parents / Guardians: Pink Shirt Day is also known as Anti-Bullying Day. It was started by two students from Nova Scotia who, in 2007, bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male ninth grade student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. Pink shirts now serve to stand as a symbol against bullying on this day. William D. Pratt Students have the opportunity to purchase custom made T-Shirts for Pink Shirt Day. The price will be $20. The shirts will be 100% cotton Gildan crew neck T-shirts. For the pink shirts, we have ordered in bulk, meaning it will be first come, first serve for sizes. The shirts will be in pink in colour and have the William D. Pratt logo on the front in blue, white, pink and black.
Please print out this page; complete the order form below and return
to the office. Orders will be time stamped to avoid confusion as they are first come, first
serve. The T-shirts will be delivered upon their arrival at the school. Unfortunately, the exact delivery date is not known at this time, but will arrive before Pink Shirt Day.
For more information, please email Ms. Parker at [email protected]
