We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Mr. & Mrs. Mailloux for bringing their Baby Lakin to our classroom each month for a visit this school year. Watching Lakin grow and develop we have been able to see what is special about him, and that leads us to consider what is special about each one of us.This is how the Roots of Empathy program fosters the ideas of empathy for others and being good citizens ourselves. Thank you for letting us watch Lakin grow and develop, and for demonstrating the importance of baby’s 1st year and the value of caregiver attachment.

(ROE) is an award winning, evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression and violence among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. The program reaches children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 across Canada, in English and French, in rural, urban, remote and Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve and internationally in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

We are looking for girls aged 10-13 to join our exciting summer group. We are recognizing that some girls this age start dropping out of sports and activities they previously enjoyed. Our goal is to encourage girls to stay active and eat well. Building self-esteem and learning to have a positive body image are also important parts of this program.

July 5-9; 10:30 am-1:30 pm Or
August 23-27; 10:30 am – 1:30 pm

Kitimat Child Development Centre, 1515 Kingfisher Avenue

Each session will consist of three parts:
• A fun activity in a supportive environment
• Cooking a healthy lunch
• Learning about your self

Girls must be willing to participate and have fun! This group would not be appropriate for girls who are already active in organized sports or other activities. If you would like more information or would like to register for this FREE program, please contact us at 250-632-3144 (ext. 24—Carolyn, ext. 30—Luiza) or by e-mail at cwatt@kitimatcdc.ca or lcouto@kitimatcdc.ca
