JUMP ROPE for HEART!
We are pleased to announce that we will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year, raising money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Students learn three great ways to stay healthy and work together through the Jump Rope for Heart program:
1. Take care: Protect kids’ heart and brain health by starting regular movement and healthy habits early
2.Help others: Teach children about social responsibility and importance of giving back to their community
3. Work together: Encourage teamwork in goal-setting to boost school spirit and collaboration
Giving children and youth the best start for a long, healthy life is one of Heart & Stroke’s mission priorities. We envision all children and youth will grow up healthy with access to physical activity and healthy eating where they live, learn and play.
We have raised $600 so far for this worthy cause! Please consider helping us surpass this amount, you can visit our school fundraising page today!

Random Acts of Kindness Week
Next week is Random Acts of Kindness Week! When we think of the qualities that we want to nurture in our children, kindness and empathy come straight to mind. But how can we be mindful of fostering empathy and kindness in our children?
Check out this activity from Big Life Journal on ways we can track different acts of kindness! It’s a fun, family activity that gets everyone involved and helps kindness spread. Simply colour in one honeycomb shape each time someone in the family shows an act of kindness.
