As students encounter and struggle with social and emotional changes that occur during the transitionary period to adulthood, many educators seek to help students develop skills and dispositionssuch as resilience, perseverance, and determinationto ensure that they can problem solve and work through challenges as well as take ownership of their learning and decisions. In order to provide all students with opportunities during this transitionary period, many schools implement mentoring programs, which help students develop into responsible adults. There is a great need for effective mentoring relationships in today’s culture, and the potential for academic influence is tremendous.

Student learning can be reflected in the facilities where they learn. The SD43 Education Foundation is committed to supporting SD43’s efforts in ensuring that SD43 students are learning in facilities suited to 21st century learning. SD43 has been working hard to install water fountains and water bottle filling stations at schools for student comfort. Additionally, the creation of outdoor learning spaces and inclusive play structures can bring new and equitable experiences to students.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween

A group of Port Moody students has turned to virtual fundraising in their effort to raise money to send food aid to children in Afghanistan. Organizers of the annual Move4MANA challenge at Heritage Woods secondary school weren’t about to be stilled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they’re hoping their efforts to create a month-long virtual event will result in more packets of therapeutic food being sent to feed children in a developing country than in the previous th...ree years the school’s 1,400 students have taken up the cause. Brianna Tsuyuki, one of the students in Marilyn Nunn’s Grade 12 leadership class that puts together the event, said planning for this year’s effort actually started last June. At the time, she said, everyone figured school would be back to normal in the fall and the challenge could be launched on World Food Day with the usual rousing assembly in the gymnasium to get everyone excited about participating in the lineup of group events and activities. But when it became apparent none of that would be possible because of the ongoing public health directives to prevent transmission of COVID-19, and the segmentation of the student body into smaller learning cohorts, the scramble was on to find a new way of doing things. Maya Tharp, another organizer, said brainstorming in early September was fast and furious. Organized group activities have been replaced by virtual sessions that students can access through the Zoom online meeting app, or individual initiatives like going for a run, a hike, or swim. Each activity is logged into a special app that converts them into points to be cashed in for the food packets donated by the Food for Famine Society and distributed by World Vision Canada. The unique circumstances of this school year also presented another opportunity. With no school sports to spark the school’s Kodiak spirit that Heritage Woods is known for, Tsuyuki said collective effort could become the unifying force that brings students together. We just want everyone to get lifted up, she said. The Tri-City News #portmoody #inspiration #afghanistan #covid19 #covid_19 See more
