Feb 24 2025 Canadian Museum for Human Rights (made in 2019) history of Pink Shirt Day. & Religions Presentation & Group Poster Project

Since we are spending some time on goals with our Block C classes, I thought it might be an opportunity to show a 4 minute video that highlights being inclusive, in advance of Pink Shirt Day, which is   Wednesday February 26 .  The video is from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (made in 2019) and provides the history of Pink Shirt Day. I like it because it talks about senior students being role models for younger grades, and of course being inclusive in school. Here's the link:  Travis Price – Creating Pink Shirt Day 4 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb2a4nPBgUY Religions Presentation & Group Poster Project & Presentations.   Library for Group Work!
