Theme for Our Year- #BeKind

November Theme: Inclusion

As a school this month we will be focusing on spreading kindness through Inclusion. The focus on Inclusiveness allows us to explore ways to include others through kindness, regardless of differences. When we include others in what we are doing and treat them kindly, we are practicing inclusiveness. We will also celebrate what makes each of us special and what makes others special as well. Even though we are different, we can all be included!

Our school family will build our inclusive "muscles" during the month of November by:

Highlighting similarities regardless of preconceived notions of differences
Explore differences between fair and equal
Understand the relationship between kindness and inclusiveness
