Give The Gift of Caring This Holiday Season

Nicolle Schuurman shares a display created for the month of December

at Chapleau Highschool.

"Give the gift of caring this holiday season" display was a school wide project - everyone in our school from the teaching staff, non-teaching staff and every student is represented on the board.

Grade 9s - handprints for tree
Grade 10s - presents under the tree
Grade 11s - snowflakes
Grade 12s - light bulbs
Non-teaching - christmas balls on tree
Teachers - Snowmen

Each person wrote a special message on their contribution about how they are going to show they care this holiday season.

The second display ~ SNOW Secret is a display to highlight all the attributes

Thanks for sharing this great idea Nicolle.

Sir James Dunn Shares

Sharing wonderful happenings around Algoma District is a great way to connect and share best practices. Sir James Dunn in Wawa has these special activities to tell you about.
In October, Mrs. Bernath’s SK class at Sir James Dunn Public School in Wawa loaded sixty-six canned goods onto a wagon and walked over to the Wawa Food Bank to donate them. The class had been collecting non-perishable food items as part of their Thanks and Giving units.

Staff and students enjoyed the singing and drumming talents of Buffalo Pine Lodge who performed four traditional native songs, explained the songs and answered numerous students’ questions. Gr. 7 student, Brandon A. joined the group to drum a song with them at the end of the assembly.

If your school would like to share a special event please contact Kerry Grbich ~ Character Education Special Assignment Teacher with the special news and a couple of pictures.
