Coaching For Confidence

 

Facilitated by: Dr. John Walker:  A Professor in the Department of Clinical Health Psychology at the University of Manitoba and Director of the Anxiety Disorders Program at St. Boniface General Hospital.

 

Shyness and anxiety are normal human emotions.  Some children, however, are much more shy or fearful than the average child.  For these children, anxiety may interfere with their enjoyment of school, activities with other children, new experiences (swimming lessons, birthday parties, etc.), and their development of independence and confidence. In this session, parents will learn about anxiety in children aged four to seven and gain useful tools to help your children overcome this problem.

 

 

 

 

Community Management of Headlice

Head lice commonly occur in young children and as such, at the beginning of the school year, it is good practice to remind parents about detection and management.  The best way to detect and manage head lice is for parents check their children's heads on a regular basis throughout the year.  The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority has prepared information for parents available here and here.  Parents may also contact a public health nurse at 204-940-2040.

Halloween Parade

Linwood’s traditional Halloween parade will take place:

Monday, October 31 at 1:15 pm in the Gym

The parade will feature Halloween music and class walk-abouts for the children to display their costumes.

Students will be given time after lunch to change into their costumes for the parade at 1:00 pm. Please remember that weapons are not permitted at school and that this includes those that are part of costumes.

Parents are welcome to attend!

Remembrance Day

A Remembrance Day Service will take place in the gym on Wednesday, November 9th at 11:00 AM with performances by the choir and Room 18. All parents and friends are invited to attend.

Students who are Brownies, Guides, Cubs, Scouts or Beavers are invited to wear their uniforms to school that day. Their uniforms are symbolic of citizenship and service to others and are therefore most appropriate for  Remembrance Day.

Poppies will be distributed to all students. Any contributions will be gratefully accepted and forwarded to the Royal Canadian Legion.
