WNES

WNES and several other ally schools in the SSRCE and across the province will be participating in the 2021 Inclusive Schools Read Nova Scotia. See the list of participants here: https://www.simplygoodform.com/2021-reading-partners-1... On Friday, February 26 the 3rd Annual 'Inclusive Schools Read Nova Scotia' will take place across the province! We read to give visibility, combat stigma and educate inclusively to support transgender and non-binary students everywhere. Visibility sparks inclusion. Visibility makes safer space for everyone. Change the narrative -- Change lives! Take a look at the link to see some of the great read-aloud books and resources available to educators and NS families. Simply Good Form

February is recognized as African Heritage Month in Nova Scotia. https://ansa.novascotia.ca/african-heritage-month In 1995, Canada’s government officially recognized February as Black History Month.... https://www.canada.ca///campaigns/black-history-month.html Black History Month is a time to celebrate and remember all the ways that Black Canadians have contributed to Canada’s history and culture. Throughout February, this celebration provides a chance to learn about and place some focus on African cultures, which the staff and students are doing here at WNES. Our goal is to be culturally responsive all year long. :)

Our Grade 1 students taking time at the end of the day to read their Valentines. As their teacher said "unbridled enthusiasm"!

The West Northfield Wolves made the news! :)

Friday morning announcements at WNES. The Grade 6 students have taken on this responsibility like a group of pros! They share and rotate the jobs and responsibilities. The difference between even last week and this week is exciting!
