Grade 5 student Evelyn Gilbert was bullied at school after cutting her hair for a good cause.

It got so bad that a group of girls at Applecroft Public School in Ajax kicked her out of the girl’s bathroom.

But she didn’t let that defeat her. Evelyn used the experience to turn things around during a school assembly about respect on Friday. And the results were impressive.
