Family Engagement Evening – Our Parent Engagement Committee (PRO Grant Subsidized) has organized a community event for April 10. This family-oriented workshop is centred on fostering a caring and supportive community at Winona. Professor Ezadirad will share valuable strategies and insights that can be applied at home, school and the broader community. This evening will be meaningful for Parents/Guardians who attend on their own, as well as those who attend with their school-age children. The workshop is free. For planning purposes, we ask families to register if they plan to attend. https://forms.office.com/r/1YvaY2jBjb
