Brant Bears Weekly Update

Drop-in programs

Our Child and Youth Counsellor, Ms. Fonte, runs drop-in programming in the learning commons during first break four days a week. All children are welcome! Here are the themes:

Mindful Mondays… will consist of guided meditations, deep breathing techniques, zen colouring, and a variety of calming strategies.

Take Turns Tuesdays… will consist of a variety of both card and board games 

Thoughtful Thursdays… will consist of teaching kindness, sharing kindness, and activities that relate to the themes and celebrations in the school that month

Fun Fridays…will consist of maker space activities and or colouring

Multi-faith prayer space

Did you know every school in the Upper Grand has a multifaith prayer space available? Currently, ours is in the meeting room behind the office. If your children need any religious accommodations, like support during fasting or access to the prayer space, please connect with their classroom teacher or with Ms. Jones or Ms. Drinkwater in the office. Thank you!
