Carrollton Elementary Celebrates 2017 Anti-Bullying Day
Carrolton Elementary celebrated the 2017 Anti-Bullying Day by wearing pink to promote kindness and peace. While Anti-Bullying Day first began in Nova Scotia, Canada in 2007, it is now celebrated around the world. Because a male student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on his first day of school, two teachers stepped up to help. They bought and distributed 50 pink shirts to students. Due to this, the celebration of this event continues to be known for wearing pink. As a result, in 2012, the United Nations declared May 4 as Anti-Bullying Day. Today, it is celebrated at various times throughout the year in different countries.
