Hello All!

March is motoring along and we are heading into spring. I hope you had a nice break, wherever you spent it! Students have been telling me of watching the wonderful fireworks and activities of our Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

However, judging by the "cute" hairdo's and suntans, not everyone stayed home over the holidays!

This flyer has resources on conversations with your child, teaching life skills, dealing with the stress of moving, and more. Social emotional learning skills lead to school and life success.

Get together for dinner. A well-worded question is a good way to connect after a long day. They are called starters because they will spark a deeper conversation about the things that matter to you. Each category contains a number of conversation starters that can work well.
