Awesome Idea. I went to Encinal in the 50's and was bullied a lot. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade. Just for being different. It follows you into adulthood. Now I meet the same folks at reunions and we are all "mates"... Good for the Pink Day against bullying. Thank goodness we didn't have Facebook and Twitter growing up. It is tragic for students to feel less than accepted and liked. You just want to fit in when in your growing up years.

I was at Encinal in the 60's for the 7th and 8th grade. Man, you want to talk about bullying, I saw it happen too often and am embarrased to say that sometimes I would laugh at it. Good for the kids over there. You know times sure have changed, yet this is a real good change with the kids standing up and challenging what's wrong.
