INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PINK was an important celebration at the West Campus and an opportunity for students and teachers to stand up against bullying and discrimination in all its forms. Grade 1 student, Mirabelle A., took it a step further, by independently starting a petition against intimidation and encouraging her classmates, along with students in the upper grades, to join her cause. She collected a total of 89 signatures and the petition was later forwarded to Ottawa. Grade 1 Level I 10 TFS ENTRE NOUS 2016
