"Pink Shirt Day began in Nova Scotia in September 2007 as 'Stand Up Against Bullying Day' when a high school student arrived at school wearing a pink shirt. He was swarmed by a group of about 10 kids who called him gay and threatened to beat him up. Two older students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, witnessed the event and the next day showed up at school with 75 pink shirts, a pink basketball and material to make pink head and arm bands to spread around the school. Within 2 days, over 400 kids wearing pink. The bullies were made powerless." From Sir Charles Kingford- Smith Elementary newsletter.

Apple dip recipe:
Mix together
- 1 part of softened
cream cheese ( I used Philadelphia cream cheese)
- 1 part of
peanut butter ( some of you may like to add more peanut butter in this recipe)
- 1 part of
brown sugar
- 1/4 part of
milk
- a little bit of
vanilla extract
- a little bit of
cinnamon powder ( I like a bit more of this)
Serve with apple widgets
Eventhough there is sugar in this recipe, I still consider this is a healthy snack for kids!
My suggestions:
Since this recipe is so easy, don't make too much at a time. Also, the dip tast better after chilled in the fridge for half an hour!
