Springing Forward

We need to model to our students that there are times we may fall back, but we always endeavor to spring forward. This week a student found herself without a place to live. She approached her problem with calm and figured it out. Her solution was only temporary, however, she now has the time to put a plan in place, move forward! Imagine being homeless, I have never been homeless... I can't imagine it. hmmm

As role models to these students, speaking positive words assists them in solving problems calmly and intelligently. Thanks for being positive role models and mentors to our students. 

Congrats to You

Congrats to Eva, as her son Shane will be going to Provincials in Edson for basketball. 

Congrats to Jenine whose daughter Alyanna is ready to have her own classroom. Soon we will find out where we will be teaching. Whoever gets her will get a Superstar!!

Congrats to Eva and Petra whose boys will both be graduating this year. Such a celebration for you both. I know there's a few months until that happens, this is a huge celebration. 

A celebration for Nicole, as her Mom had cancer surgery and came out of it like wonder woman!! Her Mom looks great and feels great too! Such great news.

This weekend I get to go try on Mom of the bride dresses. Kelsey gets fitted for her wedding dress. A lovely moment for us parents, I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. 

Congrats to Alex and Darren who worked diligently to get a reluctant student to fort these past two weeks. They built a schedule for him and so far ( fingers crossed) he has been following it. He hadn't been in yet this year and he has come 4 times in two weeks. This is huge!!

Thanks to Bonnie for bringing in a community member to build soap in High Level. That activity brought reluctant student in as well. Bonnie has connections to the moon and back!!

Thanks to Eva for organizing first aide in La Crete on Monday and Tuesday.  Our students and staff will build much needed skills in first aide this week

Thanks to Mark for doing the CATs with the Zama kids. Thanks to Nicole for putting the garden tower together. Those towers should all be up and running.
