Pink Day.

This week we celebrated Pink Day. This is a day when we all stand together to support the idea of valuing every individual for who they are. When we celebrate being kind and reject bullying and unkindness. Almost all of our students wore pink. We had a wonderful assembly organized by Ms Zeitz. Poems, a play and a description of how PINK Day came to be were followed by everyone in the school dancing together under the direction of our Grade 4 teacher Ms Gomm. The gym was decorated as was the whole school with cutouts of pink shirts bearing messages about the theme. Thank you to all who took part and made it a great celebration of a line in our school song – “We are all different and different is OK.”

We always enjoy snowy days. It is great to see the children having so much fun outside. I am so pleased that they all come well equipped with suitable clothes and footwear for being outside at this very important part of their day.

Digital Citizenship

Are you and your family safe digital citizens?

In this ever changing digital world it is sometimes hard to keep up! While we all recognize the learning potential of using digital media and the Internet we also need to be aware of its challenges. Many people often feel they are anonymous behind the screen but nothing can be further from the truth. A rule of thumb that we often tell our students is… “do not post anything online that you wouldn’t be comfortable with being posted on a public billboard!”

Parents have many responsibilities. Now a new one has been added to your list! Here is one tip to help your child be a safer digital citizen.
