Junior Fun-a-Rama

On Friday, February 7, all of the students in Grades 3 to 7 participated in the Fun-a-Rama House Event. Fun-a-rama is an annual competition where each house builds teams for a variety of relays, obstacle courses, and other surprise events. Throughout the event, every student will represent their house several times. Our Grade 7 House Leaders are the key planners and organizers of this massively fun event. For nearly two hours Rand Gymnasium was rocking with the music, cheering, stomping, and clapping that come with outstanding spirit and sportsmanship. After it was all said and done, a big congratulations goes out to the Green House for capturing their second consecutive Fun-a-Rama victory.

Bell Let’s Talk Day & The Breakfast Club

From serious discussions to laughs and smiles, the Breakfast club emphasizes empathy, balance, and self-care surrounding the theme of mental health. This club is dedicated to carrying out the ongoing conversation to alleviate the stigma and normalize the prevalence of mental health and illness as it exists unbounded alongside all of us. For the last few years, Bell Let’s Talk week has served as a fun and informative event that the Breakfast Club has brought into the school halls. Mental illness does not discriminate against age, socioeconomic status, gender, or ethnicity. By having transparent conversations about mental illness and wellbeing, we create a compassionate and supportive atmosphere in our school community. Bell Let’s Talk is a perfect opportunity to bring all members of the community together to collectively engage in purposeful conversation to eliminate the harmful stigma that is associated with mental health.
