Tomorrow Constable Kerry from the York Region Police will be coming to speak to our grade 7 and 8 students as part of the VIP program, Values, Influences and Peers. This program is run every year in all York Region schools in grade 6, 7 and 8. Police officers visit our schools to discuss relevant issues such as the health dangers of drugs, alcohol and smoking as well as the importance of internet safety and bullying prevention. Cyber-bullying and internet safety is a topic that always needs reinforcing as our children become more and more digitally dependent. We thank our community partners from the York Region Police Department for helping us keep our students safe through awareness and education.
