One PAC, One GOAL
September 23-26
Principal Message
Last week, we welcomed an assembly called Link Up. The theme of the assembly focused on kindness and encouraged our students to participate in 5 challenges moving forward:
1. Be Kind
2. Accept and include others
3. Choose positive influences
4. Dream big, set goals, keep a journal
5. Start a Chain reaction
A chain reaction starts with one act of kindness and continues to spread. Staff and students have an opportunity to highlight the acts of kindness happening around them on strips of paper that we will link together and put up as a visual of the growing acts of kindness in our school. Please help us by encouraging your child to show kindness and include others.
