Sport Day fun was had by all; the weather was great, and we thank everyone who was able to come help or participated!

This is just to show what happens when dog owners don’t pick up after their dog…especially on school grounds.

If you have a dog, please respect the animal control bylaw which under Division 5 Animal Control states:

“The owner or person in charge of any dog, shall remove immediately any feces deposited by the dog from publicly accessible areas of City Centre, Service Centre, Kildala Neighbourhood, Whitesail Neighbourhood, and Nechako Neighbourhood, and dispose of it in a sanitary manner.”

Would you want your child tracking this into your home?

DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teach children how to resist peer pressure and live drug and

violence-free lives.  The curriculum is taught by police officers whose training and experience gives them the background needed to answer the questions young students ask.  There are many ways the DARE program benefits the community:

1. DARE “humanizes” the police, students can begin to relate to officers as people.

2. Students see officers in a helping role, not just enforcement.

3. It opens lines of communication between law enforcement and youth.

4. Officers can provide information beyond drug-related topics.

5. The program opens dialogue between the school, police and parents to deal with other issues.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 14, 2010 for the Third Annual Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day.

Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet.

“David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied…[They] took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a new Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school.

‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders,’ says Mr. Price, 17, who organized the pink protest. ‘Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’

So Mr. Shepherd and some other headed off to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. They sent out message to schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag.

As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes. ‘It looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders,’ Mr. Price recalled.

The bullies were never heard from again.”
