Do you know that April 7th is Green Shirt Day? It’s a day where we show our support for organ donation and reflect on the Logan Boulet Effect. Do you remember hearing about the Humboldt Broncos bus crash that happened seven years ago? That was a difficult time for so many people, but something positive came out of it. One of the players, Logan Boulet, was able to help six people live on by donating his organs. This courage inspired 150,000 Canadians to become registered organ donors. So, let’s show our support by wearing green to school!
Let us remember the importance of sharing our wishes with our loved ones. The story of Logan Boulet, who made the selfless decision to become an organ donor and shared his wishes with his family, is a reminder of how one person’s actions can make a significant impact on others. His decision not only saved six lives but also inspired a nation and created a movement known as the #LoganBouletEffect. #GreenShirtDay
