Our Grade 4 students have been exploring the art of storytelling through personal narratives - writing about special moments in their lives that shaped who they are. From joyful family memories to challenges they’ve overcome, each story captures their unique voice and creativity. Through this project, our young writers learned how to express their thoughts and feelings through both words and illustrations. They discovered that storytelling is more than just writing, it’s a wa

Dear ISHCMC Families, Tomorrow marks World Mental Health Day . Like many health conditions, outward expression of good or poor health can mask an underlying need.
