Just a reminder that tonight we will be hosting a Cyber Safety Parent Information Session at 6:30pm in the Gallery. This session is for Grade 5/6 parents only. We encourage every family to have one parent attend the session if possible. As a thank you, students will receive a homework free pass for next weeks homework if they have a parent attend.

See you all tonight 🙂

After watching the video, create your own list of 20 things we should say more often. Really think about the power of words and how they make others feel. This can be displayed as a list in your book or if you’re feeling creative you could present it in a different way.
