Hello Laurier Live,
If you could please read the following announcement Wed, Thurs, and Friday this week, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!
-----x------x-----x------
The Mental Health Champions Club are inviting you to their upcoming activity: making friendship bracelets! Come to the Art Room (Rm 149 by Music) on Monday, December 15th at lunch. Everyone is welcome. Making a friendship bracelet is a simple way to stay mindful as we head into a busy time of year. It also gives us an opportunity to appreciate the people around us by sharing or gifting the bracelets we make.
There are posters around the school with QR codes that link to more information and sign-up sheets. No experience required and the event is free of charge!
If friendship bracelets aren’t your thing, don’t worry, in January we’ll be running a dodgeball tournament to help reduce stress before exams.
We hope to see you all making some bracelets before the winter break!
