By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – A new program has been introduced at Sawyerville Elementary School to offer children a positive introduction to the school system.
Run by Jacky Mathieu, animator at La Relève Haut Saint-François, the Mama Moose program began on April 24 in collaboration with Sawyerville and Pope Memorial Elementary Schools and the Eaton Valley Community Centre (CLC). It is offered to children and parents to help them prepare for the transition into kindergarten.
“Our aim is to help make the initial contact with school, one that promotes a sense of safety and trust in the education system, ensuring that our new students have the best start possible,” said Kim Fessenden, coordinator at the Eaton Valley CLC.
