School Spirit

One of the exciting opportunities we have for students is to be involved in our Student Voice group.  This is a group of students that meet with our vice-principal, Ms. Jarvis to discuss issues related to the school and to suggest ways to improve school spirit.  Student Voice is made up of representatives from each of our grade 1 to 6 classes.

This year, Student Voice has offered suggestions on dealing with garbage on the school grounds, how to hand out play equipment at recess and lunch, and what to do on our "spirit days".  The photo attached to this blog shows our recent "Crazy Hat Day" with a few of the selections on display that day.   These days are important parts of our school community and help engage students.  They show students that pride in your school and fun can go hand-in-hand with a focus on academic work.  Showing school spirit is an important part of making stronger connections which ultimately lead to greater student results.
