Auchmuty High School has said the day will allow students and staff to “share stories, laugh, cry and support each other”.
The school attended by a Scots teenager who tragically drowned while paddleboarding is to honour him on the last day of term.
Alexander McNab, 15, was reported missing from the water at Lochore Meadows in Fife on Saturday, June 28. A major search effort began and tragically his body was recovered on Sunday afternoon at around 1.20pm.
He was a pupil at Auchmuty High School in Glenrothes, which has announced it will use the day to remember him as the school year ends on Thursday, July 3.
Students and staff have been invited to wear pink to celebrate his life, with a book of remembrance set up for anybody from the school community to leave a tribute.
A post on social media said the day will include opportunities for people to “remember Alex, share stories, laugh, cry and support each other”.
It added: “Our thoughts, prayers and support remain with his family.”
On Monday, Alexander’s family shared a statement via Police Scotland in memory of their “much-loved son”.
In it, they said: “Alexander was much loved, caring, adventurous, bold, hard-working, ambitious and always looking out and caring for others.
“He is a much-loved son, brother, grandson, cousin, friend and boyfriend and a big part of his local community.
“Alexander will be forever missed by those that knew him and loved him.
“The family would appreciate privacy at this emotional time.”
Detective Sergeant Duncan Thompson said: “Our thoughts are very much with Alexander’s family at this very distressing time and we have specialist officers supporting them.”
A major search was launched to find the schoolboy at around 5.25pm on Saturday after emergency crews received a report of concern for a boy who had been out on the water.
Police Scotland, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the Scottish Ambulance Service and HM Coastguard were in attendance to carry out extensive searches.
Since the tragic news of his death broke, a fundraising page has been set up to raise funds for his mum to help with funeral costs. It has since raised over £24,000 as of July 2.
