Letter to families regarding 13 Reasons Why Season 2
|
Dear
Peel District School Board Families:
As
you may be aware, season 2 of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, is scheduled to be released on May 18, 2018. Series like this one can lead to misconceptions and misinformation about suicide, and possibly to the glorification of suicide and suicide contagion. For these reasons, mental health professionals across North America, including the Peel District School Board's mental health team, feel it is necessary to make you aware of this series and content.

Today is your only day to purchase samosas for only 2 for $1! You order today, and will get them tomorrow for lunch. ATTENTION Class reps! Class lists will be in the attendance folders. You will be taking your class's orders during period 1, then please bring them to Ms. Iron's room right after. Don't forget to order your samosas for 2 for $1! Thank you, Student Council An Asian Heritage announcement:
The list with selected students for the Rangoli/ Mandala pavement construction will be up in front of Art Room 122.
Considering the fact that a large number of students signed up to participate in this project, the selection process was a very difficult one. We took in consideration all the students who submitted design proposals and showed an active involvement during Asian Heritage.
If your name is on the list, please be prepared for Wednesday May 16th, periods 1 to 4. We will go to PRIDE Square right after attendance.
Today will be a mandatory meeting in order to select the design and to organize the existing raw materials saved from last year.
Mr. Pora Don’t forget to get your henna tattoo done by none other than a fellow centennial student! If it’s beautiful and sunny outside we will be set up right outside Mrs. Medley’s art room all days this week!
Your artist has practiced applying the paste so many times that they are all experts. Prices range from 1-5$ depending on their size.
For best results, the wet paste will need time to dry before smudging or washing off. Be prepared to allow time for your design to dry and crumble off.
Looking forward to seeing you soon! Mrs Medley If there is an indoor recess this afternoon henna will take place in Mrs.Medley’s art room, room one thirteen.
It is mandatory that you have permission from your lunch time supervisor before leaving you classroom. Henna designs will not be done on students without a hall pass.
Mrs. Medley

Austin So Mr Leonforde, what do you mean by being hard on yourself? Are you going to talk about cutting, suicide and other forms of self harm. Are you talking about when I call myself stupid? Mr Leonforde Well Austin...today's minute is about all of the above. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people (a parent, teacher, coach, friend) to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. Be kind to yourself and ask for the helping hand or pat on the back that you need and deserve to get through the tough situation you are facing. Today, write three things you like about yourself which you can then think about when you get stressed. Tomorrow Let us all show that Children's mental health matters at Centennial by wearing green. Austin This mental health minute was brought to you by the staff and students of 8-10 Thank you to everyone who tried out, you displayed great work. Please check the athletic bulletin board outside the gym. The first cut will be posted by the end of the day.
Thanks
Mr Forer and Ms Irons Junior Boys Soccer Tryout This is a message for any boys wanting to try out for the junior boys soccer team. There will be a try out Friday after school from 2:30 to 4pm. You must have a ride arranged for 4pm. Please meet in pride square after school. Good morning Dodge Ballers! Please make sure to check your team lists and schedule posted outside the gym. There are 2 games today. There will be a notice posted today with the rescheduled date for the games that were missed yesterday (Wednesday). Thanks! Henna designs are applied to the skin with a thick paste made from the ground leaves of the henna plant and have been used by desert cultures throughout the Middle East, Africa, India and Egypt for thousands of years. Our Centennial students have been working hard at preparing beautiful designs. Some of our artists copy traditional pieces while others are really great at adapting traditional designs into more modern contemporary looks. If you'd like to have some of this artwork applied to your skin to support our Asian Heritage Celebrations and show your Centennial pride, please remember your loonies and toonies and find door 6 , which is near Mrs. Medley's classroom during lunch recess' next week! The practice for tomorrow is cancelled. Please come to room 102 today at lunch if you want to pick up a test.
Thanks,
Mrs. Butt

A RED MAPLE/SILVER BIRCH, HARBOURFRONT TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT... Good Morning... There will be a mandatory information meeting @ Period 7 today in the Library for all those students on the Harbourfront excursions next week. Again, a mandatory meeting Period 7 today in the Library for ALL the Red Maple/Silver Birch students on next week's Harbourfront excursions. Please bring a pencil. See you then, Mrs. Lister
Austin: So Mr Leonforde, Yesterday you told us that stress is mental or emotional strain from very demanding circumstances. How should students handle stress? Mr Leonforde: It is easy to let your feelings go wild when you are upset. Notice your feelings and name them. For example, "I am so angry" and say or think about why you feel that way. Then find a way to calm down, get past the upset feelings and find a way to express them. Do breathing exercises, listen to music, write in a journal, play with a pet, go for a walk or ride a bike or do whatever helps you shift to a better mood. Today, invite a friend to engage in a calming/relaxing activity after a stressful moment. Tomorrow's topic... Don't take it out on yourself! Austin: This mental health minute was brought to you by the staff and students of 8-10
Bravo to our Boys Cricket Team for demonstrating Centennial Pride and good sportsmanship during the cricket tournament yesterday. They played valiantly, losing to Sir William Gage and Sir John A MacDonald while winning against W G Davis and Williams Parkway for a fourth place finish overall. Thanks.
A big congratulations goes out to all of the girls who participated in the FitSpirit run yesterday! We are so proud of you, and you should all be proud of yourselves and all of your hard work! Thanks! Ms. Salvisburg, Ms. McIver and Ms. Irons
he use of Henna for body art is at least several centuries old. The people of ancient Egypt and India used this form of temporary tattoo for religious ceremonies, wedding festivals, and for simple body adornment. Henna is a plant which grows in the tropical climates of Africa, northern Australia, and southern Asia.
Next week henna designs will be available for purchase during lunch recess near room 113. On beautiful days chairs will be set up outside. Small designs will cost 1 dollar while larger and more intricate designs will cost up to 5$. If you'd like to get a design drawn on your hand or arm please meet outside near door 6 any day next week!
If you are one of the 30 henna artists who signed up, and are still interested in contributing to this aspect of our Asian Heritage Celebration please see Mrs. Medley today at lunch for a MANDITORY meeting. You are invited to stay and practice after the meeting, or go outside. Come prepared with a pencil.
Also teachers, if you are interested in allowing our artists to practice, please come today at lunch recess to room 113!
