Sept. 28 Panther Weekly Update

Posted on

Hello Panther Families,

What a wonderful week at KPES!

Our first school-wide assembly was a great success, and we were proud to see our Panthers demonstrating this month’s character trait: Courage. We talked about how courage can look different for different people. Terry Fox showed courage through determination and perseverance. Courage is also needed when learning about difficult parts of history, such as residential schools, listening to the experiences of others, and working toward truth and reconciliation.

A special thank you to everyone who contributed to our Terry Fox fundraiser and participated in the walk. We are proud of the generosity and enthusiasm shown by our students and families.
