Lachute CLC
Students of Laurentian Elementary participated in a character-building workshop for at-risk students to feel more connected to their family and school.
This initiative was executed through an “Intergenerational Gardening Project” which teamed up an at-risk student with their grandparents to help teach the students how to grow flowering plants, which requires technical and timely support to harvest and finally sell their flowers as a part of a school fundraiser.
The overall aim was to have the student’s work at something they could see through to the end, while being invested throughout in order to help them develop the lifelong skills necessary for success while creating a positive connection between family and school.
The workshop went off brilliantly and students found themselves invested throughout, learning that patience and dedication are virtues worth cultivating. The initiative was a great success that the children and partners involved can both be proud of.
The project was successful through the irreplaceable help of partners Benoit Mallet a Teacher at L.E.S., Erin Traynor L.E.S.’sSpecial Education Technician, and Rola Helo at 4Korners Family Resource Centre.
