Embracing the Power of Kindness: February's Heartfelt Journey
Hello, wonderful parents and students!
As we step into February, a month associated with love and warmth, we're excited to explore the heartwarming theme of Kindness. This month, let's join hands to spread positivity and create ripples of compassion that touch hearts both big and small. Join us on a journey of making the world a brighter place through acts of kindness and genuine connection.
Every Tuesday between 8:10 and 8:29, Ms. Parkin is in the Wellness Room where students can make “Encouragement Cards” for others around the school - this is a easy and great way to spread kindness!
At CLJH we will be welcoming Dwayne Peace, who will be spending 2 days with our students and an evening with Parents, Dwayne will be speaking to students about bullying, disrespectful behaviour and the power of words. Dwayne will be with students during the days of February 7th and 8th, with his parent session being on February 7th from 6:30-9:00pm. If you would like to learn more about the student sessions or the parent session, please contact the school or visit his website at Dwayne Peace
