Day of Pink
2018-04-11
On April 11 HWDSB staff and students will join millions of people worldwide by wearing pink to recognize the International Day of Pink. The International Day of Pink began in Nova Scotia when two high school students saw a classmate being harassed for wearing a pink shirt. The two students intervened, but wanted to do more. A few days later they were able to get their entire school to wear pink. That school sent a message that together we can make everyone feel accepted.
We recognize this day at Riddell because we want to make a statement that our students will stand against all forms of bullying.
It also reminds us that when we stand up and speak out, we can make a difference. On April 11th, and over the week, many classes will take the time to discuss what we can do collectively to assure that everyone feels included, safe and welcome.

World Down Syndrome Awareness Day - Rock Your Socks
2018-03-21
To recognize World Down Syndrome Awareness Day, staff and students are invited to rock their socks (whether its a mismatched, lots of colours, patterns, or you wear lots of socks at once).
Down Syndrome International’s campaign aims to:

Explain how people with Down syndrome can and do make meaningful contributions throughout their lives, whether in schools, workplaces, living in the community, public and political life, culture, media, recreation, leisure and sport;
Explain how negative attitudes and a lack of knowledge about their potential as individuals prevent people with Down syndrome from having opportunities to make contributions;
Empower people with Down syndrome (and those supporting them) to advocate for their rights and opportunities to make meaningful contributions and
Reach out to key stakeholders including educators, employers, public authorities, media and the wider community to ensure they see the benefits of enabling people with Down syndrome to make meaningful contributions and encourage these stakeholders to bring about change and disseminate this message.
