Long Service & Welcome Back Ceremony

On Friday, September 14th, the staff of BGRD No. 18 enjoyed the morning recognizing both its long service individuals and its new staff members.  To complete that component of the morning, the "Black Gold House Band", featuring Superintendent Dr. Yanitski, treated the group to an amazing rendition of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "The House Is Rockin'".  Finally, Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a Vancouver-based developmental psychologist with over 40 years of experience with children and youth and those responsible for them, spoke to the group about the "Six Roots of Attachment".  It's all about receiving and protecting a child's heart.  If we are mindful of tending these six roots for all the years our children need our guidance and understanding, they have the best chance of truly growing up.
