International Pink Shirt Day

ebsac

Did you know there are 2 pink shirt days? The last day Wednesday in February is International Pink Shirt Day where we encourage everyone to wear pink to show you stand against bullying. One in 5 children are bullied daily! Visit www.pinkshirtday.ca to find out more information as well as how you can get involved in raising awareness.

The second day of pink is called the The International Day of Pink which is a worldwide anti-bullying and anti-homophobia event held annually during the second week of April. While this day also is an opportunity to stand against bullying the Day of Pink is more specifically aimed towards anti-LGBTQ+ bullying which begun after a Canadian high school student witnessed another student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt!

Please be kind to one another out there!

Sandwich the meal gap in Toronto!

This is an AMAZING initiative by Club Sandwich. They literally sandwich the meal gap in Toronto!
If you are able to support them, make sandwiches from home and drop them off at MCC Toronto (located off Howland Road on the south side of 115 Simpson Avenue). Contactless drop-offs make this so easy!
They are servicing 9 local Toronto missions at the moment and hope to expand. 


How can you help? Make & drop of sandwiches or help deliver them once and awhile. Every little bit helps feed Toronto’s homeless and food insecure. 

Are your children stressed? Not sure what to do or help?

Stress and anxiety is running high in our little ones these days. Here are some great resources that we found on https://strongmindsstrongkids.org/. They host lots of amazing content under their resource tab including how to help your child cope with stress, a podcast called The Working Parent, articles and videos.
We encourage you to take a look!

Nina announced today that the pool will be opening up to grades 4-8 starting February 14. See her message below:

:We will be opening the pool for instruction beginning with Grades 4-8 classes next week.   Neil and Julien will go over routines both in the change rooms as well as in the pool area, but not engage in swimming.  We will spend next week on routines and if students are ready, we will start swimming the week of February 14.  We will of course, take as much time as we need to, to ensure students understand the safety protocols in place to facilitate swimming instruction.“

I know a few kids that will be VERY excited!!
