Save the Date for a Special Parent Presentation

We are very excited to inform you about an upcoming presentation that will be taking place at Trillium Woods on Monday, February 29th. There will be two presentations throughout the day for the students and a presentation after school for parents. The overall focus of  the presentations will be on mental wellness, with a specific focus on resiliency, healthy ways to release feelings, character matters and self regulation. The goal is to help students to think and act beyond their feelings so they can choose to be resilient, confident and respectful people. The parent presentation is designed to make parents aware of strategies they can use to help coach their children to self regulate, to build confidence and to bounce back from challenges. Sara Westbrook from UPower is the presenter and she will share the key messages through personal stories and songs. Details and notices will continue to be sent out over upcoming weeks to keep you informed about the details pertaining to this valuable presentation. For additional information about Upower please visit their link at www.sarawestbrook.com. 

We are looking forward to seeing you at the parent workshop!
