UPower Student and Parent Presentation

On Monday, we had the pleasure of hosting Sara Westbrook at Trillium Woods. Sara is a motivational speaker specializing in resilience and respect. Her message to parents and students included a decision making formula where students learn to base quality character choices on a desired end result, despite any circumstances that might get in the way.

In the evening, families learned about how their participation in activities with their children helps kids feel confident and supported, allowing them to bounce back from life's challenges and to better handle stress. Sara talked about how learning these skills is an ongoing process for children and adults that takes time to build habits of positive decision making and maintaining focus on a goal.

We were pleased to see almost 100 families from Trillium Woods, Beynon Fields P.S., and Silver Pines P.S. come together to hear Sara's Presentation. Thanks to Ms. Moses, Ms. Chilvers, Mrs. Clubine, Mrs. Campbell, and Mr. Seto for giving up their time to support the evening. A huge special thank you to Ms. Moses for her efforts in organizing this fantastic event for our school. Click here for parent resources from Sara.
