This year, my Senior Ventures project focuses on connecting the Darlington community to Service Learning. I would like to help reframe the school’s definition and understanding of service learning. One way I am planning to accomplish this is through a day centered around service, that day being Pink Shirt Day. Darlington School's thematic focus this year centers on the concept of "community," to fully embrace this, the Darlington Upper School is planning to have a day dedicated to raising awareness of bullying and encouraging self-love called Pink Shirt Day. Today, I provided an opportunity for Upper School students to tie-dye t-shirts pink so they can wear them on Wednesday, February 28. I would like to thank Mrs. Tunnell and Mrs O'Mara for assisting with this opportunity. There will be a lot of fun activities, focused on the them of self love and anti-bullying to complete during club period, in the McCallie-Kennedy Center, on Pink Shirt Day.
