Quoi de Neuf à ÉPK

Cher Parents/Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a recent observation we've made regarding the increase in students visiting the office for extra snacks during school hours. While we are fortunate to have the support of our parent council group in providing apples and additional snacks for our students, we have noticed a growing need for more substantial lunches brought from home.

We kindly request that you ensure your child's lunch is sufficiently packed each day to minimize the necessity for extra snacks at the office. Moreover, we encourage you to involve your child in the packing process. This not only fosters a sense of responsibility but also provides them with an opportunity to understand the value of food and nutrition.

Additionally, please remember to include any necessary cutlery with your child's packed lunch, as our office stock is limited.

Furthermore, if you are able, donations of snacks or cutlery would be warmly welcomed to help supplement our current resources.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

M Morin

Resilience through Connecting, Caring, and Coping

Resiliency is something we want, but how do we foster it? Join us for this Lunch & Learn where we look at stress and burnout, the power of resilience in getting through the ‘tough stuff’, and how self-compassion and self-care are essential to our well-being. We will discuss strategies for building our own personal supportive networks and inner coping skills to strengthen our ability to ‘bounce back’.
