On Feb. 24, Wellington Elementary School participated in “Pink Shirt Day” to show support for the fifth annual Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County’s Anti-Bullying Campaign. “Pink Shirt Day” is an international celebration event tied in to year-round character education efforts such as the “Turning Bullies into Buddies program.” The theme for this year is “A Wave of Kindness Across Palm Beach County.”
Staff and students brightened the campus with pink shirts to make a statement that each can make a difference in regard to anti-bullying efforts. The school was proud to participate in this important campaign.
