OUR VOW OF SILENCE

On Friday, May 17th, our school will be participating in the world-wide day called Vow of Silence. Below is an explanation of the even which is being led by our Me to We student leaders.

- Purpose: we're being silent for children around the world whose voices have been silenced.
- no talking, texting, or emailing...yes - staff included!
- The silence begins after morning announcements and will end at 3:00pm (you will have time to do agendas, etc...we will break the silence over the P.A.)
- If someone speaks, they have to put a coin in the jar.  Use any container you have in your class to collect coins.  Students can bring in pennies, nickels, dimes, etc.
- You can be creative if you want: teach them a few words in sign language or have a special hand signals for "washroom", "take a drink", etc.
- We are challenging students and staff to keep the silence during recess too.
- Primaries: use your discretion, but we think the kids will find it fun to stay quiet the whole day - especially if their teachers can't talk.
