Mindful Moment

Happy Friday Eldorado!
This weekend is Family Day, which is a great opportunity to practice your mindful breathing together as a family.  Take some time this Family Day to teach your family members what we have been practicing at school, taking a few moments to focus on deep breathing in and out.  Have them take a deep breathe, counting to 3 in their minds, and to breathe out, counting to 3 in their minds.  Do this 3 times together and see how you feel.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the many contributions of Black Canadians and Black communities throughout the world who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous country we know today.

In December 1995, the House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month, following a motion introduced by the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament, the Honourable Jean Augustine.


During Black History Month, schools across Peel will recognize and celebrate the rich heritage, history, culture and contributions of Black Canadians as well as Black communities from around the world.
