Diversity Conference

The Grade 5 students were fortunate to be able to participate in the 15th Annual Diversity Conference at Bob Edwards School.  The day started with a keynote address in the gym featuring speakers and dancers from 4 different cultures.  From there, our class took part in 2 different workshops: My Language, My Rules; and World Peace Village. 

Not only did the day give us some great information and conversation, it was an opportunity for the Grade 5's to experience their "next year home"; which is an important step in the transition process.  While they may feel nervous, they hopefully were able to see the theme of the conference in action:
