We wore PINK on Anti Bullying DAY – Wednesday February 24th, 2016

At Thornhill Elementary we recognized Anti-Bullying Day by wearing pink to promote inclusion and diversity.

February 24, 2016 we encouraged everyone to wear something pink. Several of the students and the staff showed that we are all working together to prevent bullying in our schools, in our communities and online.

Pink Shirt Day comes from Nova Scotia high school students, who decided to take a stand against bullying in their own school.

Clubs Day – February 4, 2016

On February 4, our entire school body participated in a clubs day where the students got to pick from 10 different activities that were being offered by the staff for an hour.

Those activities were yoga, weaving bracelets, chess, making bead bracelets, building buildings, painting and colouring, rock band with real instruments, pop up cards, colouring post cards and G-ball in the gym.

“New” Filtered Water Fountain and Water Bottle Station

Our school has a brand new water filtering station. It has a water fountain and a filling station for water bottles.

We encourage all students to bring a refillable water bottle to school :-) .
