Be Good People:  

Sleep  

Did you know that the Canadian Paediatric Society recommends that children ages 5–12 get 10 to 12 hours of sleep each night?  

That means that if your child wakes up at 7 or 8 a.m., they may need to be in bed by around 7–10 p.m. to get the sleep they need. 

 DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS: 

 Pro D Fun!  

We are excited to host a free Bat education program at George Mackie Library, led by Danielle Dagenais. Children will learn about bats, their habitats, and ways to support our local bat population. We encourage children in grades 3 to 7 and their families to attend. Children under 10 must have an adult accompany them. 

  • George Mackie Library
