Learning Together, Growing Together
We are excited to recognize Family Literacy Week, a province-wide and national celebration that honours the many ways families support learning every day. Literacy begins long before children ever come to school—it starts with talking, listening, singing, storytelling, playing, and sharing time together at home.
This year’s theme, “Make mealtime family learning time,” reminds us that literacy isn’t just about reading books. It lives in everyday moments like cooking together, reading recipes, making shopping lists, sharing stories, asking questions, and talking about the day around the table.
At school, we know learning is strongest when children feel a sense of Belonging, develop Mastery, and grow their Independence—the heart of the Circle of Courage. Family literacy supports all three. When children experience rich language, meaningful conversations, and shared learning at home, they come to school confident, curious, and ready to learn.
Throughout the week, students will bring home simple, fun literacy activities that families can enjoy together. No special materials are needed—just time, conversation, and connection. Even a few minutes of shared reading or talking together makes a powerful difference.
Thank you for being our partners in learning and for helping us nurture strong, capable, and connected learners.
Together, we are growing a strong Wolf Pack.
