The Youth Revolution Group is volunteering at the Samaritan House and is doing a food drive this week (Feb 3 – Feb 7) for donations of Lunch Snacks to help support Brandon’s local food bank. Examples of lunch snacks are apple sauce, goldfish crackers, fruit cups, granola bars, etc. or anything that is non-perishable. They are kindly asking for any donations you are able to make at this time. Thank you for helping our community! February 26 is Day of Pink. This is a day where we encourage everyone to wear a pink shirt as it symbolizes a stand against bullying. The idea of Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia, Canada when a boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Travis Price and David Sheppard, caught wind of the situation and bought 50 pink shirts the following day and distributed them around the school to stand up for the boy. The tradition has carried on and is a powerful day to remind us to be kind! Check out the link below to see a snippet of the history. In your child's backpack tonight, I have sent home a form if you wish to purchase a t-shirt for you or your child. Please send the payment and form back by Friday if you wish to participate!
