Character Happens In Our Schools

There continues to be so many amazing Character opportunities and activities happening in our schools! Look for the new "Celebrating Character" newsletter coming to your school soon, with lots of great tips for embedding character in your classroom and school every day, suggestions for dealing with bullying and how to get your students involved in leadership and service learning...through character in action!

Character in Action
Students across ADSB continue to take on leadership roles in their schools and are involved in active citizenship through a variety of service learning opportunities. With encouragement from their teachers and peers, students are finding creative ways to give to their community and make a difference. All schools are participating in Pink Shirt day this coming Feb.23rd in acknowledgement of their commitment to a "bully-free" life! Together we make a difference.

Speak Up Grants
Congratulations to the successful recipients of the 2010/2011 student Speak Up grants. Intermediate students across Ontario are given the opportunity to write proposals to get involved in making their school a better place to learn. We look forward to hearing more about the progress of their projects and their successes.
