Updates from our coaches at Banff Elementary School:
There are always so many wonderful things happening at Banff Elementary School here are a few of the highlights: Grade six girls group donated $100.00 to Bow Valley SPCA and 105.00 to the Bow Valley women's Emergency Shelter from their nail polish fundraiser! Way to go girls!
New lunch time groups/clubs have started RFTS is supporting the Green Team, Div II lunch time Board Games. Groups that are still continuing is the grade 3/4 soul warmers club along with the grade 6 spirit council and the grade six girls group.
At BES in January students created thank you cards for something special that occurred over the Christmas season. They identified anger triggers and remembered a time when they were able to pause and divert their anger before acting on it. They learned about positive and negative thoughts (green and red thoughts) and a growth/learning mindset which sees "mistakes" as learning gifts! And we all took a few Jelly Belly breaths.
In February your child(ren) will be bringing home some universal mental health activities they have participated in to teach you what they know about Mental Health. We also look forward to hearing how you take care of your own mental health.
