We have a learning coach every Friday, and during this time, learners made different versions of heart crafts!

In our opening ceremony, we had an outdoor dance party, and then staff had a relay race involving putting on all of their winter gear in teams. In this, we had our Dean of Learners participate, along with our Special Ed director, and both of our custodians. The MC was the outdoor learning coach, and the yeti suit was worn by our secretary!

Our superintendent visited and skated on the ice with learners. Our principal recognized one WinterKid Leader in each learning community for outstanding sportsmanship and participation, and they were recognized with a hot chocolate and sledding break.

For our guest speakers, we had Crown CARES come and visit… and talk to us (classes and a whole school assembly) about kindness and taking care of other’s hearts! The CARES stands for: Creating A Respectful Environment in Society. Their goal is to provide awareness and tools for bullying prevention, inclusion, and social awareness. They came with read aloud books, demonstrations, and activities to teach kindness! We really enjoyed our two-day visit learning how to take care of our own and others hearts.
