Kindness matters!

Today hundreds of students from Centre Wellington came together at Elora PS for the second Empowerment Series event. Sharing messages of hope, kindness, and how to be the good in the world, were speakers Brian Williams and Patrick Anderson. Some students also got the chance to play a bit of Wheelchair Basketball, too!

What an inspirational day for students!

Thank you to our sponsors for making today possible: Impact Sponsor Skyline, Legacy Partners Optimist Clubs of the UGDSB Area, the Upper Grand District School Board and the Specialist High Skills Major program.
