Students at St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School meet on a monthly basis with their Café d’amitié partners. Pictured here are the Grade 1 students with their Café d’amitié partners from Grade 6. Students participate together in a variety of activities that can range from reading to creating art projects to playing games. This is an excellent way to foster a sense of belonging, build relationships amongst students, provide students with social and emotional models and development opportunities and help children feel safe and accepted at school. This month in honour of the virtue of Stewardship and Earth Day, Café d’amitié was dedicated to demonstrating how we can show our love for all of God’s creations and do our part to respect the earth.
