X-DANCE ~ October 21-25 (flyer attached)
We are excited to be welcoming X-Movement back to LKS for a brand new program called X-Dance. For those who with us last year, you may recall X-Fusion and our parent engagement evening that taught us mindfulness, self-regulation and how to understand our moods. X-Dance is the next program offered to us. Through culturally diverse dances from all over the world, X-Dance encourages students to celebrate the unique parts of themselves and others. X-Dance guides students to create an equitable and inclusive environment through curiosity, acceptance and respect. Students are left empowered to create a world where everyone feels safe to be who they truly are. This program ties well with the Ontario Dance and Health/Phys Ed Curricula.
Each student is asked to pay $8.00 towards the cost of bringing this program to LKS. Payment should be made at www.schoolcashonline.com. Included in this price is a parent engagement evening where parents are invited to learn from their children the dances they have been learning all week. The parent engagement evening is Thursday, October 24th.
