We’re excited to be hosting URSTRONG, an internationally recognized Social Emotional Wellbeing program, that empowers children with the skills, language and self-confidence to be better friends and develop healthier relationships. To learn more about URSTRONG we would encourage you to visits their web site (www.urstrong.com) where they have a number of free resources for parents.

Over the past year, our entire faculty has been focusing on social-emotional learning programs, implementing tools and strategies to support our efforts in creating a safe and caring school. We believe that empowering our students with these skills will create a school community where children are better able to manage their relationships in a safe and respectful environment.

We invite all students from Grades 1 to 6 and their parents to come along on the 14^th of November 2019 to join us for a URSTRONG Language of Friendship Parent-Child Workshop. This workshop will be held in the Menno Simons School Library.
