UMBRELLA PROJECT

Empathy is the ability to understand and appreciate how someone else is feeling. This past month, Sandhills students have been provided with opportunities to learn about empathy through the Terry Fox run, Orange Shirt Day, and other activities in their classes and around the school.

The statements we have been asking students to demonstrate are “I know how you feel” and “I care how you feel.” Many of our students have demonstrated the skill of empathy in a variety of ways, and have been recognized with a Sunny Salute. The Sunny Salute cards have been posted on the bulletin board across from the main office. On Friday 19th Oct we hosted an assembly where we will celebrated all of the students who have demonstrated this skill. Be sure to watch next week for statements on Gratitude!

Check out the bulletin board display across from the main office that highlights our monthly trait.

HALLOWE’EN

Hallowe’en is fast approaching and your staff at Sandhills thought it might be a good time to remind families about the expectations regarding costumes. As always, students’ costumes should not be of the ‘violent’ type nor should they include weapons of any type. Face masks are also not to be worn inside the school. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
