Mental Health Literacy
The Saanich School District remains committed to wellness and the promotion of positive health in our schools and communities. In an effort to support mental wellness and social-emotional learning, we will be issuing monthly snapshots, intended as an invitation to learn together as we foster and promote positive health in our own lives, and the lives of those around us. Please follow the link to access our January Snapshot on Mental Health Literacy, a topic connected to the upcoming Bell Let's Talk Day on January 28th.
Parkland staff wish our Panther families a safe and restful holiday
Staff at Parkland hope you have a safe and restful holiday. Undoubtedly it will be a different sort of winter break with families staying close to home in their own safe bubbles. Instead of sunny beaches, busy ski hills and social gatherings it may be more like Netflix marathons, board games and hikes with close friends. As Bonnie Henry says, "we all have to do our part". From our Panther family to yours--stay safe, stay healthy and see you in 2021. We see hope on the horizon!
Parkland students and families support community initiatives
Parkland students sponsored a number of community support initiatives leading up to the holidays. Grade 11 Leadership Student Laura Pettinger organized the Food Drive which brought in 4459 food items and $2047 in cash. Way to go Parkland community! Grade 11 Leadership students Anika Updegrove and Hailey Gordon collected 6 large boxes filled with backpacks, toiletries, and winter clothes for Where the Heart Is Foundation that supports the homeless population. A big thank you to the Parkland community for your generosity!
