Have you heard about the new Choices room at Cameron?
In an effort to encourage our students to make positive choices while at school, Cameron Street Public School will be implementing new initiative this year. Students who demonstrate positive choices during the day while interacting with their peers and staff will be recognized and invited to visit the Choices Room during the last period of the day. While in the Choices Room they will have the opportunity to work with other students on problem solving games and activities as a way to celebrate and reinforce their positive behaviour. Recognizing student’s positive behaviour will be based on our SCDSB Character Traits of:
·Integrity
·Responsibility
·Cooperation
·Empathy
·Optimism
·Respect
·Honesty
·Caring
·Inclusiveness
·Courage
Students who chose not to make positive choices during their day will also be asked to attend the Choices Room during the last period of the day to receive support.During this time they will be provided with the opportunity to work with Mr. Comish to review school or classroom expectations, complete assignments, work through conflicts or focus on developing their learning skills and work habits.
Students will bring home their choices invitation in their agenda so that parents and guardians are aware of their participation in this program.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Choices Program please contact Mr. Comish at the school.
Last year I took on the role of the Fundraising Coordinator on the Cameron Street School Council and have had a blast helping raise money for the school.
FUNdraising has been what I have been doing for the past 4 years. It seems that I eat, sleep and breathe fundraising!
I am a Volunteer Run Director for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure in Collingwood. I have been for 4 years now, and this year I have entered a Cameron team in the run, with one of my hopes being that I am able to hand over the school award to Cameron Cares this year!
A Collingwood elementary school has never won the school award and I am hoping that changes this year!
Over the past 6 years our Collingwood Run Site has raised over $800,000 for a future without breast cancer. I have no doubt that this year, our 7th year as a run site, we will reach ONE MILLION dollars raised! A huge milestone for our site!
It is my hope that we have a large Cameron Cares team! Staff, Students and their families are all more then welcome to join, the more the better!
