Weekly Update: February 12, 2017

Hello Robina Families,

What a great week we had last week, even though it was short, it was full; especially with the filming of our Pink Shirt Day video!  Our teachers spent Thursday and Friday listening to amazing world class speakers and learning some great new ideas! It is skating week this week and ski day for our grade 4s tomorrow. Don't forget your equipment!

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

We have started our Random Acts of Kindness Challenge which will last for the whole month of February!  When a Teachers observes a student in a random act of kindness they give the student a “Random Act of Kindness ticket” and they go to the office to write their name on the “Random Act of Kindness Grid”. Each time we fill the grid, we draw 20 squares and those students receive "Pass It On" dog tags or additional tags to add to their chain if they win each week. So far we have had 40 winners and to date have filled two charts. Here is the last chart we filled, so you can see if your child had a chance to be nominated:

SCHOOL WIDE ANTI-BULLYING PROJECT!

All of the RBES students PK - Grade 4 are involved in a school wide anti-bullying project - "Kindness Matters"!  A camera man from Shaw - Ray - was out to film for 3 hours this past Tuesday. We made it half way through our filming and were thrilled to find out that Ray will be coming back on Tuesday, Feb. 14 to finish filming some of our classes from the upstairs hallway.  We are so excited to reveal the video on Pink Shirt Day February 22! Here is a sneak preview of a moment of our filming! So Proud of You RBES!!!!!
