Purple Lights had a double-header on Thursday, Oct. 15!
The Purple Lights Night committee held an event at Spirt of Hope Secondary to help inform students about domestic violence and supports available.
We started at lunchtime with pop-up display tables at Spirit of Hope Secondary School. Students lined up for pens, keychains, mini-flashlights, purple feathers and Chika's purple light bulb cookies.
That evening we welcomed families to Almsgiving Theatre for a showing of Inside Out 2, a movie about anxiety, envy, embarrassment and other feelings people of all ages know well. The turnout was wonderful, and there were free Purple Light treats for everyone.
We all should have nothing to fear about life's challenges as long as we have someone to talk to, and that is the purpose of Purple Lights. Together, shining a light will lessen the stress of feeling alone and lost in the darkness of emotional challenges, including neglect, abuse and other negative experiences.
Thank you to the staff and students at Spirit of Hope Secondary and to Almsgiving Theatre for your cooperation and hospitality. You made all the difference in sharing our message of Shining A Light.
