Vision Day was a success! I want to thank all of the teachers who planned and facilitated the projects. I also want to thank Mary Kelly Bello, Jack Bissonnette, and Jen Cypra for coordinating the day’s events. We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from teachers and students.Please check out the projects and highlights from Vision Day to see the amazing work the students completed on Wednesday.

Raising Resilient Children
The pandemic is showing us that children can be very resilient which means they are learning to be independent, confident, curious, caring, and patient. We can't control the pandemic, but we and our children are learning to enjoy the present time with family and enjoy whatever environment we are in. Children are learning to be happy during the pandemic and learning virtually. In the future they will be able to handle setbacks and hardships in life. You also are showing your children how to be resilient by showing them that not giving up is very important. Here are some more ways you are building emotional resilience in your children:
Encouraging your child to use creativity and resourcefulness to solve problems
Teaching your child to be caring towards others.
Practicing patience with each other
Encouraging your child to try and do hard things
Here are more tips on building resilience in children.
Library Resources
Some parents have asked where they can find links to the online library resources and subscriptions. Please check the CIC website specifically the Books, Digital Newspapers, and CIC IT Subscriptions tabs.
The EY Libguide offers specific information for our younger learners. It is continuously updated. Please stop to find out information regarding upcoming library events and holidays, book recommendations, author /book of the month and much more!
Have a wonderful weekend.
