On
Tuesday, April 17th, 2018, families
are invited to participate in our school’s first annual “Well-Being Day”. The
event will begin at 8:45 am and will
end at 12:15 pm. The day, which will
be led by both staff and students, is meant to provide students and families of
students a “tool bank” of strategies that they could use to improve their
overall health and well-being. This year, we will have a specific focus on how
healthy eating, mindfulness, physical activity and use of mindful technology
such as “GoNoodle” can be used to improve overall mental health and well-being.
This learning is directly connected to the curriculum, and adds to learning
that students have been doing in their classrooms throughout the year.
The
day will be experiential with students participating in activities at four
different twenty-five minute activity centres. These centres will be led by
students, who have volunteered to both help plan and run the centres, and
staff, who will serve as both mentors and experts in the planning process. This
is a unique opportunity for our students to take on a very meaningful
leadership opportunity at our school.
The
event will start in the gymnasium with an interactive, school-wide assembly,
before liaisons from Mr. Kaiman’s class take students from centre-to-centre on
their learning journey.
Following
the morning activities, family members are invited to join Ms. Murray for a lunch
conversation to talk about how the school and home can work together to support
our children's health and well-being. A
free light lunch and refreshments will be served at the event which will be
held in the library from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm.
Parents
and guardians who are able to make it out to the event are more than welcome to
join in with their children. Please complete
and return the attached RSVP by April
9th to let us know if you are able to join us for some or all of the
day. Given the active learning we have
planned for the day, we ask that only adults attend during the day. Children not yet school age are welcome to
join family members participating in the lunchtime discussion with Ms. Murray.
We
hope to see you there and look forward to a meaningful day of learning.
