PALM CITY, FL--On Friday November 13th, students and staff at Hidden Oaks Middle School will be taking part in a unique anti-bullying campaign.
As a kick-off to National Anti-Bullying Week (Nov. 16th – Nov. 20th) they will be creating a “Sea of Pink” by wearing pink shirts to school as a visual stand against bullying.
School staff will also be handing out “Kindness Works” stickers for students to wear. In addition, the “Sea of Pink” theme will also be carried over into an after-school sock-hop, with pink sunglasses, scarves and treats!
This is the second year Hidden Oaks Middle School has participated in the “Sea of Pink” event.
The campaign is modeled after events in Nova Scotia, where a student became the victim of bullying and harassment after he wore a pink shirt to school. His classmates decided to take a stand against the bullying and organized a visual demonstration the next day— they all wore pink to school.
For more information on this event, please contact teacher Beverly Burns at Hidden Oaks Middle School, 772-219-1655.
