This is our last week before the March Break. Due to the death of a community elder, there are a few changes to the plans for the week.
The Winter Games that were scheduled to happen on Wednesday and Thursday have been rescheduled for the week after the break (March 23 & 24). There will be normal classes this week on Wednesday and Thursday, unless the funeral is scheduled for either of these days. Out of respect for the family, school will be closed on the day of the funeral.
Tomorrow the elementary classrooms are closed because teachers are participating in a workshop on bullying in town. Barbara Coloroso, well-known speaker on parenting and education, will be in Kenora. This is a wonderful opportunity for teachers to learn more about protecting students and supporting them in their relationships with one another. Ms. Coloroso is also having a parenting evening from 7-8 pm. Parents are welcome to attend.
If your child is struggling with bullies, or is being teased, I highly recommend attending. Ms. Coloroso has written several books that are fabulous advice for parents. I have one of her books in my own library at home. It has been a very practical source of advice in raising my kids.
