| Rainbows For All Children | http://hew.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/10 | Rainbows For All Children | <p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;">The Rainbows Program is being offered at Hewitts
Creek this year. The Rainbows Program is
committed to helping children grieve and grow after
loss. It is a grief support group and works to help
vulnerable children who may be working through
loss due to death of a family member, divorce or
children in foster care. Rainbows builds the confidence and self-esteem of hurting children. If you are
interested in this program for your child, it is recom-
mended that you first talk to your child's teacher and
then contact the school Co-ordinator, Tanya
Trembath to place your child's name on the list for
Rainbows groupings. </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial;color:#0000ff;">ttrembath@scdsb.on.ca </span></p> | | | |
