ASD-E is launching Mental Health Mondays! Each Monday we will share District and/or Community Resources that people can access to maintain, improve or learn mor...e about their mental health. Today we are sharing United Way - Greater Moncton & SENB, Centraide - Grand Moncton & SENB 211 Information Line. As we know life can be difficult for many of our residents at the best of times, but the COVID-19 pandemic has created a new layer of stress and anxiety for everyone. Information is changing rapidly. Demand for critical social services and community programs has increased and in many cases the way these supports are delivered has had to change. That's why we launched the 211 Service in NB: to help every person find the support they need. 211 is free, confidential, and acts as the front door to support, helping people navigate the complex network of government, community and social programs and services quickly to find what they need for their unique situation. When someone contacts 211, they are connected with a real person who will ask questions about their situation and then suggest programs or services that can help. Often, they can be registered on the spot. This eliminates the stress of trying to wade through the changing information we are all processing each day. Phones are answered 24/7 in 170 languages. Whether you are looking for Government Resources, Mental Health Resources, Food Access Resources or Financial Relief Resources 211 can help you.

Reminder: No school on Friday, November 20th!Reminder: No school on Friday, November 20th!

Health and Safety Update Good afternoon, As we continue to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that there is consistent concern about the health status of students and staff in our building. We want to reassure you that student and staff health and safety remains our priority.... We continue to follow the direction of Public Health and the Return to School Document released by the Province in August. As per the document, Public Health will inform the school if there is a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 in our school. At this time, there have been no cases confirmed in our school. I will be in touch immediately if I ever hear from Public Health in this capacity. Since the opening of schools in September, there have been staff and students across the school district directed by Public Health to self-isolate. We do not communicate with parents when this happens as there is no positive case. This is just a precautionary measure. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we all work together. Thank you, Robert Bourque

Do you care about our Earth and environment? Then this is an announcement for you! Lewisville Middle School is going to build our own community garden this year! We will build a vegetable garden, pollinator garden and rain garden. If you are a fellow plant lover, or just want to learn more about this project, please see Mrs. LeBlanc, Mrs. Steele, or tell your homeroom teacher! We need lots of help and want as many students involved as possible. Let’s get gardening.

Butterflyway Garden At Lewisville we are building pollinator friendly gardens called Butterflyways on the school grounds to be used for many learning experiences ahead. We are continuing to explore creative ways to engage students and integrate the curriculum with nature. HOW YOU CAN HELP... One goal of the Butterflyway Garden is to instill attributes in the student that will help them become conservation-minded adults and citizen scientists. You can help by: Getting involved with the installation, maintenance, and/or expansion of the garden. Divide some of your flowers in your home garden to plant at school. We are looking for Purple Cone Flower, Blue Sky Aster, Swamp Milkweed, Black-Eyed Susan, Common Yarrow, Catmint, Nasturtium, Blue Vervain, Maximillian's Sunflower, Ox Eye Sunflower , Blue Flag Iris, Echinacea, Evening of Primrose, Bergamot and Joe Pye Weed. Native flowers are best. These can be dropped off the week of Oct 26th. Please label plants. We are creating a layered Lasagne garden. Each class will be responsible for collecting organic materials (un-coated cardboard, newspaper, small twigs, leaves ) and bringing them to the school the week of October 26th. Let others know the location of the garden plot and to not disturb it or its surroundings. Please sign and return the consent form that will be sent home in the coming week. Our students will be building the Butterflyway Garden on November 2nd.
