Calvin's Thought of the Week:

“When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they’ll remember and be kind to someone else. And it’ll become like a wildfire.”

Whoopi Goldberg




Kid President: It's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance.


We all need a little encouragement every now and then. Kid President, knowing this, has put together a video you can play each morning as you wake up or to share with your friend who needs a kick in the right direction. We discussed how spreading kindness and encouragement creates a better classroom, a better school, a better neighbourhood ..... a better world.






Writing Challenge
Students are using their creativity to develop a comic strip or short graphic novel where everyone and everything are made of gingerbread and candies. Ask your child about their stories.
