Principals Report


Pink Shirt Day – Student leaders made announcements on the PA system about the pink shirt
day. We had each child create a pink postcard to place on a giant pink t-shirt that we hung in
the foyer.

Our Friendship Fair before the break was a fun morning of different activities that our
students engaged in to support bucket filling behavior. The If It Hurts Committee worked to
plan the event – creating a friendship banner, friendship bracelets, Friendship ribbons,
dancing and activities in the gym, and a Poetry station.

Welcome to Kindergarten Event was held this week. We had a great turnout and our newest
community members engaged with their parents in a lot of fun activities that will help to
prepare them for school in September.

Math Competition- We have a number of events coming up to celebrate mathematics. We
have a district competition on March 28th. Our school will have an in house competition to
choose our students who will get to participate in the district competition. In April we will
be engaged in a national math competition and we will be having an open house for parents
to come and visit math classes.

Your Wellness Forum in the Southeast

The Southeast Regional Wellness Forum is taking place on March 14th from 8:30 am
to 3pm at the Shediac Multipurpose Centre. There will be presentations on New
Brunswick’s Wellness Strategy, the Wellness Movement, Your Community at Glance
and local success stories. Also, there will be group discussions divided by subregions that will help us identify community assets and how to use them
moving forward as individual communities and as a collective in the
Southeast. We would like to have the input of citizens and people who play a
role in wellness related fields such as health, education, seniors groups, youth
groups, social support networks, culture, First nations, physical activity, healthy
eating, workplace wellness, physical and mental disability groups to name a few,
present so that we may take everyone’s perspective into account as we determine
priorities for the region and develop a strong and dynamic wellness network.

There are a multitude of people and organizations doing great work in the region.
The Wellness Forum is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the great work that is
being done and integrate your assets, visions and strategies into a regional plan
that will help us create a healthy New Brunswick, where together, we can work,
play and live in a culture of wellness.

There is no registration fee and lunch and snacks will be served during the health
breaks and a simultaneous translation service will be available.
