Marie Sharpe Elementary
This year, students at our school are taking part in lessons that focus on building character, confidence, and strong relationships. Each month, classes explore an important theme — such as problem solving, empathy, respect, communication, perseverance, integrity, relationships, and fairness. Through stories, hands-on activities, and group discussions, students practice skills that help them work through challenges, treat others with kindness, and contribute positively to their classroom and community.
These lessons are guided by the Circle of Courage model of belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity, and are enriched by the 7 Sacred Teachings of love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth. They also align with the BC Curriculum Core Competencies, ensuring that students are developing the personal and social skills they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
This month's theme is Respect with a focus on Belonging!
