Day of Pink

Congratulations to everyone who participated in making Pink Shirt Day a success. This special day was not only an opportunity to recognize the importance of our continued commitment to a "bully free life" but also a renewal of our commitment to community and character.

Within the many touching stories shared from that day, it was clear that it was the act of "coming together" with an intention of caring for one another, celebrating differences and inclusion for all that mattered most of all to everyone.

Character Every Day

I believe great character is in the little day-to-day actions that take place. Here's a great example. Doris Buck is a wonderful cleaner at our school, We are lucky to have her. Today I asked her to sweep the sand off the asphalt off our outside basketball courts and back into the playground. She was doing this at lunch.

When I was on yard duty, I looked over and saw many of our JK - Gr. 1 students helping her sweep, shovel and transport the sand with their dump trucks. She had to go into the school to get more brooms and shovels. I was so proud of our little ones, and of Doris for letting them help.
