National Orange Ribbon Celebrations

The National Orange Ribbon Celebrations (NORC) has kickstarted a month-long celebration in July to commemorate racial and religious harmony.

The theme for this year’s NORC event “Many Races, One Gracious Community”. This celebration seeks to promote the Olympic values of “Excellence, Friendship & Respect” in support of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010. (You may remember the actions that you have learnt from this week's class assembly!)

A key feature of this year’s celebrations is to gather as many pledges from the people conveying our personal commitment to live in harmony as one gracious society. Every single pledge makes a difference! Grow the Movement! Make Your Pledge Today!

Follow this link http://orangeribbon.onepeople.sg/2009/ to make your pledge. By clicking on the button that says "Pledge here", you can write a pledge (which is like a promise) to live in harmony with your friends and other people around you.

For example, you could write that "I pledge to lend a helping hand to all those around me who need help so we can all learn well as a class." Let's show our that CCPS girls care about others around them!
