School Council Coffee Fundraiser, Santa’s Anonymous, Family Lunch : November 17, 2016
Kindness abounds at BES! There are many examples: Gr. 6 students wrote notes to their Gr. 1 buddies, Gr. 1 students delivered cookies and kind messages to our neighbours at the Mount Edith House, Gr. 9 BCHS students are working with Gr. 6 students, RFTS hosted a Take 5 for parents and children to enjoy time together before school, Gr. 2’s made kindness flowers,...the list goes on and on. A Gr. 6 student stated at recess, “Actually...everyday is kindness day!”.
