SHARP PROGRAM
Home Reading Club
Albert McMahon has run a home reading program since 1992. Each year the program is a huge success and helps foster a love of books and reading in children. Students take home slips to check off, with parent signatures, to indicate the number of days of reading (15 minutes/day for grades K-3, 20 minutes/day for grades 4-6). Prizes are given to students for every 25 days they have read. A special luncheon for full-time readers will occur in the Spring. The program is PAC funded and thank you to Kim Elliot who is coordinating the program.
Peer Counselling
This program benefits the entire school community. The Peer Counselling program involves training senior students in communication and leadership skills. The Peer Counsellors will act as friends, helpers and resource people to students in the school. In addition, students who help others benefit by developing a greater sense of responsibility, self-confidence and an understanding of others.
