A touch of pink across campus speaks of courage and inclusion; a heartfelt dialogue at home nurtures connection and care. During the past Wellbeing Month, we brought understanding, connection, and love into every corner of the campus and every home through two heartwarming activities.
校园里，一抹粉色点亮包容与勇气；家庭中，一场对话温暖养育与陪伴。在过去的心理健康月，协和古北以两场有温度的活动，将理解、连接与爱，写进校园与家庭的每一处。
Meeting in Pink: A Day of Understanding and Connection
在粉色中相遇：一次关于理解与连接的 Pink Day
On what seemed like an ordinary school day, touches of pink quietly began to appear across campus. Some added a hint of pink to their outfits, some wore small pink accessories, and others simply paused a little longer in the crowd, taking in what was happening around them. It was on this day that we came together for our Anti-Bullying Pink Day.
Pink Day began with a simple yet powerful act—students wearing pink to support a peer who was being bullied. Over time, this gesture has grown into a global movement, reminding us to notice the kinds of harm that can easily go unseen in everyday life, and to recognize that each of us has the ability to shift the atmosphere, even in small ways.
This year, we responded to that spirit with a simple message: Be a buddy, not a bully.
在一个看似普通的校园一日里，粉色悄悄地出现在了各个角落。有的人在衣服上加了一点粉，有的人戴上了小小的粉色饰品，也有的人只是在人群中多停留了一会儿，看看周围正在发生什么。这一天，就是我们共同参与的 Anti-Bullying Pink Day。
Pink Day 最初源于一群学生用穿粉色的方式支持一位被欺负的同伴。这个简单的举动后来逐渐演变成一个全球性的行动，提醒人们去关注那些在日常中容易被忽视的伤害，以及每个人其实都拥有的、去改变一点点氛围的能力。
这次，我们也用一句最简单直接的话来回应这份初衷——Be a buddy, not a bully.
Rather than setting up complex structures or requiring participation, we invited everyone to take part in small, meaningful ways. Some chose to wear pink, making support visible across the campus. Others stopped by the Anti-Bullying Wall to sign their names—a quiet but intentional commitment to respect and to not causing harm to others.
A group of students also took the initiative to design badges for the day. Each small badge, printed with the words “side by side,” carries a simple but powerful idea: that in moments when it matters, we can stand with one another, rather than leaving someone to face things alone. Choosing to wear it becomes a gentle reminder that kindness is not distant or abstract—it is something we can choose, and something that can be seen.
At the same time, informational posters placed around the campus offered another, quieter invitation to reflect. Instead of providing fixed answers, they asked questions: What does bullying really look like? Is it only found in obvious conflict, or can it also exist in jokes, exclusion, or everyday interactions we have come to accept? Sometimes, simply pausing to ask, “Could this make someone uncomfortable?” is where change begins.
这一天，我们没有设置复杂的流程或强制的参与方式，而是邀请大家用一些很简单的行动加入进来。有人选择用穿粉色表达支持，让“反霸凌”这件事变得看得见；也有同学在反霸凌主题墙上留下了自己的名字，签下一份关于关于尊重和不伤害他人的承诺。
另外，几位学生还自发为活动设计了徽章。小小的一枚，印着 “side by side”的字样。
它意味着，在需要的时候，我们可以站在彼此身边，而不是让某个人独自面对。而选择佩戴上它，也是在某些时刻提醒我们，善意并不遥远，它是可以被选择和被看见的。
同时，校园里的科普海报也在以另一种更安静的方式发挥作用。它们没有试图给出标准答案，而是邀请大家去思考：什么是霸凌？它是否只存在于明显的冲突之中，还是也可能藏在玩笑、忽视，甚至习以为常的互动里？当我们开始多问一个“这会不会让别人不舒服”，很多事情也许就已经悄悄发生了改变。
We did not create this day with the expectation that everything would be resolved at once. Rather, it was meant as a moment to pause—to notice, to feel, and to reconsider how we relate to one another. More often than not, change does not come from grand gestures, but from small, everyday choices: a second glance, a word left unsaid, or choosing to move a little closer when someone needs it.
Pink Day may come to an end, but what it leaves behind is perhaps a slightly different way of seeing—how we share space with others, and how we can help one another feel safer, and more supported.
而发起这个活动，并不是因为问题一定要在这一天被解决，而是希望创造一个契机，让更多人有机会去注意、去感受、也去重新看待人与人之间的关系。
很多时候，改变或许来自一些很细微的选择：多看一眼、少说一句、或者在别人需要的时候稍微靠近一点。
Pink Day 会结束，但它留下的，也许是一点点不一样的视角。关于我们如何在同一个空间里相处，如何让彼此感觉更安全和更被接住。
Nurturing Happiness: Growing Together with Our Children
SUIS Gubei Parent Well-being Talk
幸福养育力：与孩子一起成长 —— 协和古北家长幸福力讲座
During the same week, we also welcomed parents to a meaningful and heartwarming session—a space for reflection, learning, and connection.
Led by Molly, an experienced family education expert with over a decade of practice and a Master’s degree in Happiness Studies, the talk centered on “happy parenting.” Through her guidance, parents were encouraged to better understand their children, while also reconnecting with themselves, building more compassionate and resilient parent-child relationships.
Together, we explored the pressures children may face, as well as the hopes and challenges experienced by parents. We learned more mindful and effective ways of communication—moving beyond common pitfalls and building stronger bridges through listening, understanding, and support.
Equally valuable was the sense of connection among parents. Through open sharing, participants felt seen, heard, and supported—reminded that no one walks the parenting journey alone.
We come together because of our children, and we grow together through shared experiences. With school and families working hand in hand, we continue to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for every child.
同一周，我们也为家长们带来了一场温暖而有意义的上午时光。一场面向家长的分享，一次关于陪伴与成长的深度对话。
本次讲座由拥有十年家庭教育经验、全球首届幸福学硕士、哈佛幸福学之父亲传弟子Molly老师主讲，以「幸福养育」为核心，带领家长看见孩子、看见自己，在理解中重建更柔软的亲子关系。
在专业导师的陪伴下，我们一同看见孩子成长中的压力，也看见家长背后的辛劳与期待。我们共同学习更温柔的沟通方式，避开沟通误区，用倾听、理解与支持搭建亲子桥梁。
更珍贵的是，这场相聚让家长们彼此连接、彼此看见。大家在分享中互相理解、互相支撑，深深感受到：在养育路上，没有一个家长是孤单的。
我们因孩子而相遇，因成长而同行。学校与家庭携手，用更稳定、更有爱的力量，共同为孩子营造安全、包容、幸福的成长环境。
Kindness, like pink, protects and connects.
Nurturing, in turn, allows happiness to grow.
May we continue side by side—making our campus warmer, our families stronger, and every child’s journey gently supported.
This sense of care extends far beyond a single day or event.
In the small, everyday moments, we remain attentive to and supportive of our students’ well-being, working to create an environment where every child feels safe, respected, and supported.
粉色守护善意，养育滋养幸福。
愿我们并肩向前，让校园更温暖，让家庭更有力量，让每一段成长都被温柔以待。
而这样的关怀，并不止于某一天或某一次活动。
在日常的每一个细微之处，我们都在持续关注与守护学生的身心发展，努力营造一个安全、被尊重、也被支持的成长环境。
