Good morning everyone, this Sunday is world mental health day which is a reminder to us all to be kind to oursleves in these difficult times. One way to lift our spirits is to read about inspirational personalities that have thrived through difficult times. From them we we can learn ways to manage the challenges in our lives. The book of South Asian Supergirls is full of such stories and the Excelsior club invites you to pick up a free copy from the library this lunchtime. Teachers / Counsellors are welcome too because there’s a teachers guide authored by a local award-winning SD36 teacher. Full details can be found at the library. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Excelsior was privileged to kick off this year's events with an invitation to display and distribute our South Asian Supergirls book at the Ex-Indian Servicemen's annual dinner. The theme of this event was to recount past heroic actions to inspire and educate the families of military veterans about the sacrifices of our ancestors. As tradition has it, it's the boys that typically enjoy these stories of war but for us at Excelsior we thought it would give us a chance to distribute the books to offer the girls in these veteran families an insight into the other battles we may have to fight in the modern world. We are glad to say there were many takers for the book!
