The 2012 Pink Day has been set for Wednesday, May 2nd. We are hoping that this year will be bigger and better. As a committee we would like to include the business community in our day's activities. Last year we created a "chain for change" linking the High School and Elementary School together; this year we would like to extend that chain into the community. We are hoping that the community will jump on board and decorate their store fronts in Pink to help promote the schools initiative in promoting a safe environment. We will also be offering shirts to any business or individual that believes in our cause. We will be selling the "One Colour, One Purpose, One Community" T-Shirts for a minimum donation of $10. Proceeds from the T-Shirt sales will be used to provide more activities and guest speakers to our students to promote a safe and fun learning environment. If you are interested in being a part of this year's Pink Day or would like to purchase a T-Shirt, please contact Mr. Birch at Gordon F. Kells. Thanks for your help in making Carlyle a safe community. (The committee members are Bryce Birch, Jeff Laforet, and Melissa Roy-Brown)
