WRDSB Response to Synagogue Attack

Posted October 30, 2018

By now we have all heard of the news about the terrible attack that took place in Pittsburgh this past Saturday. This tragedy undoubtedly has had an impact on the students, parents and staff we welcome to our buildings every day. We are particularly mindful of the affect this event, and other actions around the world have had on Jewish students and staff, families and allies.

As an expression of sympathy and support for the community of Pittsburgh and the broader Jewish faith community, flags at the Education Centre and WRDSB schools will fly at half-mast.

The impact of an attack like this can be difficult for many and bring up strong feelings of stress and anxiety. If you are struggling with this recent news, please know that we have many supports available in our schools for you to connect to.  Your teachers, guidance counsellors, CYWs, social worker and other staff can assist – reach out if needed.

Bring your food items to homeroom each day during the food drive!  We’ll keep score to see which class is collecting the most food!  Scores will be posted on Twitter and the bulletin board in the main foyer!

Get collecting, Highlanders!  Let’s beat the Vikings while supporting families in need in our community!
