Where: Front gate to Lord Tennyson (on the sidewalk). If we have enough people we could also have a presence at the back gate as well. Students and teachers alike donned pink today at Tennyson, to mark Pink Shirt Day, raise awareness about bullying and spread the message that bullying stops here! A big thank you to Madame Lorieau and the Grade 6 and 7 students who delivered inspirational assemblies about respecting others, one of the values in our school's codes of conduct. And, a thank you to Mme Simone and Mme Jacinthe and their Grade 2 classes who sang beautifully for the whole school. Below are some pictures from the day; send me any you took so I can add them to the slideshow. Hello Tennyson parents, Every Tuesday at 9am there are free adult meditations in the Tennyson cafeteria. These are led by a Tennyson parent. They are open to everyone (no prerequisites) and can be quite transformational in people's lives. Please come check them out! Here is more information about the type of meditation being presented: Meditation on Twin Hearts was created by Choa Kok Sui -a chemical engineer, business man, a philanthropist, and the creator of modern Pranic Healing. By connecting with the heart and the crown, our system finds the space of inner peace and inner stillness, bringing the heart rate to an average resting point of 72bpm, which allows the body to repair and rejuvenate. The heart is calm and the brain works better. We can remember things clearer and we gain perspective of situations that once where unclear. We gain purpose and ultimately we become more successful and prosperous in whatever we do. Why Meditation on Twin Hearts? Because it's a form of community service in which we have the opportunity to repair and and regain balance as we bless the planet Earth and all it's inhabitants. It is a fantastic practice to understand each one of us and our community as part of our ecosystem. Meditation on Twin Hearts embraces all background and doesn't require previous knowledge of any sort of meditation or yoga practice. All you need to do is try it and experience your self transformation with an open mind.
