Students in Mrs. Soukeroff and Ms. Hanson’s classes marked Flag Day alongside Westbank Lions Club leaders Wayne and Heather. Together, they explored the history of the Canadian flag and discussed what it means to be responsible, respectful citizens in every community they are part of.
On Wednesday, February 25, we gathered in community in honour of Pink Shirt Day! In a sea of pink shirts, we learned about the history of Pink Shirt Day and how spreading kindess makes you happy! We watched THIS video. Did you know that science has shown that acts of kindness towards others improves our overall happiness, increases our energy and helps up feel more calm and it's contagious! Ben and Lorelai shared the story, The Crayon Box that Talked and each student coloured a crayon in their favourite colour to create a bulletin board to showcase how each of us shine with our own individual colours! We also watched THIS video about training our brain to think kind thoughts about others.

Childminding @ PAC Meetings
A friendly reminder that childminding during PAC meetings is available only for students in Kindergarten to Grade 5. Childminding is offered through HGE PAC in the school gym and students are supervised by interested Grade 5 students. If you have a responsible intermediate interested in babysitting please email the PAC at hgeparents@gmail.com. Please know that the grade 4 or 5s who do take on this important role of "babysitters" during these meetings, do so knowing they are caring for younger children and having older middle students attend can make it challenging for them to lead with confidence. While we value connections with middle school students, we ask for your support in keeping childminding limited to children in grades K–5. If you have any questions, please contact the HGE PAC President, Dani Walls by emailing hgeparents@gmail.com. Thank you!
