Posted November 21, 2021

Dear John Black PS Families,

This week is Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month.  Our Junior Bears, Student Council and GSA have been busy preparing for this week with each day having a theme and act of kindness.

MONDAY- RAINBOW DAY, Random Act Of Kindness Day – Spread some kindness (Secretly!:)

TUESDAY- UNIQUE SOCK DAY, Hello Tuesday!  Find someone new and say hello.  Chat to see if you have anything in common.

WEDNESDAY- PINK SHIRT DAY, Smile Wednesday!  Smiles are contagious.  Smile at 5 people today.

THURSDAY- COMFY COZY DAY, Thankful Thursday!  Write a thank-you note to someone.

FRIDAY- Is a PA Day – No School but you can still spread kindness because nice words are free!  Compliment at least 5 people today.

Toonie Tuesday for the Freedom to Achieve Fund:  The Upper Grand Learning Foundation appreciates all that schools do to help students, and we would appreciate any support your school can provide for our Freedom to Achieve fund.  The Freedom to Achieve fund support schools with special Equity requests and request for special equipment or services that are beyond a parent or school budget.  Parents can donate through School Cash Online.

Parent/Guardian Survey – Your Voice Matters!   It is the UGDSB’s mission to create and encourage school climates that promote a healthy and inclusive relationship between staff and students, make students and staff feel safe and encourage positive leaders in our school community and outside of it.  It’s also the goal of our school and community of schools, to learn more about our students and families so that we may plan and implement school-wide practices that are accessible, equitable and inclusive of our members.  We are seeking your input to help us with achieving our goal and so we kindly ask that you share your feedback by taking a few minutes to complete this  survey:
