Thank You!!

Thank you to all the students and mentors who attended yesterday's great event!  Here a few things girls at the event had to say (from Crescent Town Public School): 

"I was happy to learn about the positive ways that I can help myself feel better.  For example, when we looked in the mirror and we had a chance to decorate our mirror with positive messages.  The food was also lovely!"
Maggi, Grade 3

"I am glad that we did the exercise about the tree because now we know who and what makes us feel better and who and what makes us feel bad and to avoid those things.  I learned that the commercials sometimes try to make you feel bad so that they can make money by selling products that "make you better."  We also learned that body image is not how you look outside, but how you first think then feel and then act.  "
Nayan, Grade 4

"I really liked the part when we got to go around and compliment other girls in the room and I liked it when the steel drum player was playing the music. I really liked the food and I liked the place!  I like working with the other girls at our table and getting to know them more."
Grace, Grade 5

"I enjoyed being at Spirale.  It was a very fascinating event to be at.  We talked a lot about how self-talk can effect the way you think about yourself.  My favourite part about the whole entire day was when we were going around the room and talking to the people who organized the event and at the same time, we received compliments that boosted our self-esteem a little bit more"
Ashley, Grade 5

"I enjoyed the way the girls were able to understand the concept of body image more.  The girls are now preparing to share what they have learned with the other girls in our committee.  As a matter of fact, we are going to put together our presentation right now!"
