Child Youth Workers
We are very lucky to have five wonderful child and youth workers from Algonquin College here at Forest Valley. The role of the workers is to build relationships with students who might have challenges with social situations, anger issues, poor relationship building skills. These workers will be working in the classroom under direct supervision with small groups of students, on the school yard and during nutrition breaks.
Mindfulness Buddies/ Reading Buddies
Many of the classes have joined up with younger students to have buddies. This year, two of our classes are doing mindfulness buddies and it has been a huge success.
