"Community Walks and Bake Sales"
We started off the week with a typical Monday. In the board room we continued to learn about the different types of muscle fiber, and on the turf we worked on balance. On Tuesday, Christian introduced us to his Leadership Activity titled The Banana Boat Race, which involved passing a banana with their feet, and racing the other team. One team must have practiced before-hand because they definitely dominated. Thanks Christian!
The students were fantastic in the Wellness room on Tuesday. We recently got t-shirts, so they were looking quite sharp in the PCSS apparel.
On Wednesday, we were very fortunate to be able to join the community for a "Walk and Talk" with Clara Hughes. Clara is a six-time Olympic medalist in both speed skating and cycling, and is biking across Canada for her Let's Talk campaign to promote mental health awareness. Clara's primary message is to encourage people to continue, or start, the conversation about mental health, and help remove the stigma surrounding it. Clara is not afraid to talk about her own struggles with depression, in hopes that it will encourage more people to do so. After the walk, instead of doing our usual workout we, as a class, started our own mental health discussion. The students each presented a brief summary about a variety of issues, and some were brave enough to share their experiences. Thanks for helping us start the conversation Clara!
What a week! Chyanne also introduced us to her Leadership Activity on Wednesday. Everyone had to write three things down that the class might not know about them, and then when I read them out they had to guess who it was. It was fun to see how well the students know each other, and great for me to know a bit more about them. Thanks Chyanne!
On Thursday and Friday, the fundraising group decided to put on a Bake Sale here at PCSS. Success!
