R.E.S.P.E.C.T is the word at the A.C. Whelan

By Melissa Moore-Randall

The A.C. Whelan spent the last full day of school before Christmas vacation recognizing 32 students from Kindergarten through Grade 5 for being true leaders of respect. These students demonstrated respect by using kind and appropriate language, listening to others, following expectations, and showing care for their peers and our school environment.

To honor their efforts, students earned a special additional 20-minute recess, recognizing the positive choices they make each day and the example they set for others. The extra time together was a fun and meaningful way to celebrate students who help make AC Whelan a respectful, safe, and welcoming community.

Assistant Principal Daniel Gallucci added, “Our Respect Celebration highlighted what makes the A.C. Whelan special, which is students taking responsibility for their actions, treating others with kindness, and showing pride in their school.”
