In celebration of Pink Shirt Day we encourage students and staff to wear pink on Wednesday, February 24th.  Pink Shirt Day is a special day where we commit to being kind and to stand up to bullying in a positive way.  We ask students to be “upstanders” rather than “bystanders” when they see mean behaviour or bullying.  Being an upstander means it’s ok to say STOP and then seek adult assistance if the behaviour continues.  Anyone can wear a pink shirt one day a year, but wearing pink represents a commitment to being kind everyday in our classrooms and on our playgrounds.  Thank you for participating!

Thank you to the Burnaby School District for funding the purchase of our replacement slide and to the District’s fantastic Grounds Crew for installing it today!  Our students were so excited to try it out – apparently our new blue slide is faster than the original!!!

Through ZOOM with UBC Faculty of Education Graduate Students and Teacher Candidates.

Only recently announced by the Anti-Racism Coalition (ARC), Black Shirt Day is new this year. ARC created the day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by Black and racialized Canadians, as well as to help foster solidarity against all forms of racism and hate.

Suncrest Elementary School invites students and staff to wear black shirts on January 15 to show support for anti-racism.
