Community Connection
One of the activities that I wanted to pursue with 8D this year, was a connection to our Erin/Hillsburgh community. We have the opportunity to visit the seniors program at Centre 2000 once or twice a month, starting next week. The visits will include visiting and talking with the seniors, playing games/cards with the community members, and also learning about the lives and backgrounds of the seniors we visit with. Eventually, this will lead us to the writing of a community members’ biography.
At the beginning of the school year, each parent filled out a blue walking-permission form that allows the students to make trips to Centre 2000, so a form will not be necessary for our Centre 2000 excursions. Our first visit to meet the seniors will be next Monday afternoon, for an hour. Any parents wishing to join us are more than welcome. If you have any questions, please call me at the school or leave a note in the agenda.
Take care,
Miss Waddell
