Education for Change Speaking Tour

Today, we had 2 special guests from the Free the Children organization visit BHS. Tina and O'Neil are speakers that are visiting 9 schools in Manitoba as part of the Education for Change Speaking Tour. BHS is the ONLY school in our division to receive this amazing opportunity! The Grade 5s and 6s were an engaged audience for a whole hour! We learned about social justice issues, with a focus on the right to an education for children all over the world. Then, for the remainder of the day, 24 Grade 6 S.P.I.N. Club members participated in an amazing workshop. The day was full of inspiring messages and super team-building! We are pumped to start our year of campaigns with Free the Children . . . raising awareness and funds!
