The Week in Review…
On September 28th, Ms. Bowman and 9 intermediate
students attended the We Day conference in Toronto. The philosophy behind this
charity is “to empower people to transform local and global communities by
shifting from “me” thinking to “we” acting.” The day became even more exciting
as Prince Harry made a surprise visit. Our delegates from grade 8 will be
helping our school community as we continue our shift from “me” to “we”.
