Disability Awareness Week

Posted: June 2, 2010

The week of May 30th to June 5th has been declared Disability Awareness Week by the Premier's Council on the Status of Disabled Persons.  Blackville School is one of many schools in District 16 who are participating. The theme is "Yes We Can" and the aim is to promote support for persons with disabilities in New Brunswick. Disability Awareness prizes are being presented at our district elementary schools and Blackville Elementary will be participating in the "Walk and Roll" event on Friday June 4th. This will involve 15 minutes of sustained walking or rolling to coincide with a province-wide Walk and Roll Challenge. The Walk and Roll event is not a fundraising event.  We have the pleasure of having Mrs. Colleen Barry with our Elementary School during this day who is the Physical Education Mentor with our district to help encourage and educate our students.  We look forward to her expertise!
