The school's activity began with posters being hung in school for "THINK PINK". These posters were papers with options for having semi-permanent "PINK" hair color applied, "PINK" hair feathers, "PINK" shoe laces or "PINK" supporter ribbons. Each day during school the health and SADD students take turns going into the lunch room and study halls taking orders for the "THINK PINK" items they are selling.
