• Does doing random acts of kindness make you feel good? Would you like to meet people who like to do the same? Are you interested in bringing extra kindness to our school?  If this sounds like you, add your name to the sign-up sheet outside the Counselling Office and let’s spread KINDNESS

• Students, who are scheduled for painting today, should go to their class first to check in for attendance.  Please see Ms. Parsons or Mme Isert if you need a confirmation of your scheduled time.

• Did you know that feeling grateful helps us feel more positive and improves our health and our ability to deal with tough things? This time of year, sometimes feel pressure to think about what we WANT, instead of what we HAVE. Each day in December, check out the wall by the counselling office for the Gratitude Challenge!
