Pink was a-plenty at Cedar Elementary School.

Not only were students wearing pink shirts, but so were the school’s staff.

“We created these shirts that were drawn by our elder Qwaya Sam, and we have our animal virtues. So we picked the hummingbird with the message of being kind rather than focusing on anti-bullying,” says Mary Deagle, a kindergarten teacher at Cedar.
