Today's From Student to Staff feature is...
Paulette Coleman!
Paulette works as an educational assistant at École Notre Dame Elementary! She attended our Bonnyville schools from Grade 1 to 9!
"I chose Notre Dame elementary school because of my passion to work with children . I enjoy teaching children social and academic skills that will empower them throughout their life. I appreciate the professional direction for students and staff to guide the children in learning how to make good choices, gain awareness of how their behaviour impacts others, and how to better express their thoughts and emotions which will in turn help prepare them for their journey in life."

Children lack the life experience of adults and have fewer strategies to cope with stress, however, we can teach them mental and physical strategies to relieve stress and how to better respond to stressful situations.
Lakeland Family Resource Network, Bonnyville and District FCSS, and Lakeland Catholic School Division are offering two Kids Have Stress Too information sessions.
Childcare is available!
Join us for one of two sessions: Monday, December 4 at École Notre Dame Elementary (targeted for Preschool to Grade 4) and/or Tuesday, December 5 at Dr. Brosseau School (targeted for Grades 5 through 9).
Register by email at tvanhappen@lrcssd.ca or by phone at 780-826-2120.

Now working at our central office as our secretary, Anick attended École Notre Dame Elementary, Dr. Bernard Brosseau, and École Notre Dame High!
"When I returned to Bonnyville in 2010 after living in Edmonton for 15 years, to me, the ideal place to seek work would be at Lakeland Catholics Schools. It was a sense of familiarity as I come from several generations of people that have worked for this school division. I've been here now almost ten years and hope to have many more years serving Lakeland Catholic."
