Happy Lunar New Year!

This post is a little bit late.  Lunar New Year began on February 10th.  You can learn more about Lunar New Year here.  February is a very, very busy month.  You will see there is a Black History Month page  on this website, see the link to your right.  Please take some time to read about the amazing accomplishments of Black Canadians.  In addition, during the month of February, we created presentations and celebrated Have a Heart Day with our kindergarten buddies.  Please check out our Reconciliation Ambearrister page to see what we have been learning.

On February 13th, we watched an online safety presentation, Safer Spaces, by "Children of the Street."  It was an interactive presentation geared specifically for intermediate students to learn about online exploitation and how to keep themselves safe when online or using apps.  This presentation supports our Physical and Health Education and is vetted by SD43.  We also spent some time working on our digital citizenship and learning about privacy.  It is very important to not share private information online.  

On February 16th, we will be creating cards for Family Appreciation Day so that we can honour all the adults that care for us.  Remember Pink Shirt Day is on February 28th this year and we will attend an assembly in the gym.
