This year, Pink Shirt Day takes place on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, offering an opportunity to go beyond wearing pink and intentionally sprinkle kindness throughout our schools. Small, everyday gestures—smiles, words of encouragement, acts of inclusion, and lending a helping hand—can make a powerful difference in creating safe, respectful, and welcoming learning environments.
By focusing on compassion in action, educators can support students in developing empathy, healthy relationships, digital citizenship, and a shared sense of social responsibility. The Alberta-aligned, classroom-ready resources below are designed to help Kindergarten to Grade 12 students notice, practice, and reflect on how everyday kindness contributes to a culture where everyone belongs. 💗
