We are pleased to announce our 7th Annual ASD-N Take Me Outside Day Challenge to be held October 21st and November 1st, 2024. Anglophone North School District teachers and administrators are encouraged to bring students outdoors for a lesson or activity consisting of a minimum of 30 minutes. This can be a class from any subject area and does not have to be Phys Ed. Feel free to select any day between October 21st and November 1st or plan on getting out as many days as possible during this two week period.
This year TMOC is once again hosting a full week of speakers, activities and events that you can engage your students in throughout October 25. Deepen your connections with Indigenous perspectives, strengthen your health and well-being with outdoor learning, and increase your knowledge on climate change and the environment. With different themes to focus on, this will be an educational and engaging week for students of all ages! A list of dates and times of presentations are listed below, all zoom links to presentations will be emailed to you prior to the session once you have registered.
In the past six years, we have been overwhelmed by the support shown for this initiative from K-12 classes across the district. Last year we had over 30 schools registered, including First Nation schools and Alternative Education sites, with hundreds of photos and videos submitted and/or posted online. We will once again be offering a chance to win great prizes for those who participate. These prizes will be announced the second week of November.
