TRAVELING EXHIBIT IN THE MEDIA CENTER Besa: A Code of Honor:  This exhibit is comprised of portraits and text about Muslim families in Albania who saved Jews during the Holocaust. Prior to World War II, some 200 Jews lived in Albania. In 1943, the Albanian population refused to comply with Nazis’ orders to turn over lists of Jews residing in Albania. The remarkable assistance afforded to the Jews was grounded in Besa, a code of honor. Besa means literally “to keep the promise.” One who acts according to Besa is someone who keeps his word, someone to whom one can trust one’s life and the lives of one’s family. This very human story, told through these sensitive portraits combine to highlight a little known, but remarkable aspect of the Holocaust. This exhibit was displayed at the United Nations in 2008 and is now displayed in our Media Center. Come see it!

WEAR PINK TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ANTI-BULLYING Next Wednesday, February 23, Safe Schools encourages everyone to “Lift Each Other Up” to practice kindness and wear a pink shirt to symbolize that the School District of Palm Beach County will not tolerate bullying. Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. These students bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to their classmates to wear the next day. Pink Shirt Day is now celebrated internationally on the last Wednesday of February to raise awareness for anti-bullying initiatives and to create a more inclusive world. Pink Shirt Day is an opportunity to wear pink and demonstrate kindness to students, teachers, and staff! Tag social media posts @PBCSD @SELPBC and use the hashtag #BeKindPBC
