VIP Field Trip

 

We went on a field trip today to Windsor Police Headquarters and the Ontario Provincial Court.  We were lucky enough to meet the ESU or TACK Team (known as the SWAT team in USA), see a police cruiser, meet the 911 dispatch team, and meet an actual judge, Judge Dean.  We spoke to police officers and prosecutors, and really got a deeper understanding for the police and what they do.
Our VIP officers even bought all of the kids pizza and a drink.

We are so lucky to have such great community helpers!

Here we are at the Station!

What an Action Packed Day!

Today we had a special visit from Stephanie Seguin, the founder of the "Chasing Hazel" foundation.  She came in to talk to the Grade 6s about her daughter Hazel, who has down syndrome, and about Down Syndrome in general.  She was a very passionate and powerful speaker, who left a strong message with the students:  See the abilities in everyone, treat everyone with kindness, and end the "r" word.  

After recess we headed out to pick up garbage in our community, accumulate steps on our pedometers, and get some fresh air!  We met up with a lady walking her dog and she complimented us for beautifying our neighborhood.  In honour of Earth Month it is so important to do what we can to clean up our planet!

We then listened to a presentation from the  Jump Rope for Heart organization and heard all about kids who suffer with heart defects and stroke.  An envelope went home today!
