_վ_Ƭ launches “Respect” campaign
On the first day of classes for the 2022-23 academic year, the _վ_Ƭ launched its new “Respect” campaign at a school assembly at Honoré Mercier Elementary School in St. Léonard.
_վ_Ƭ Regional Director (East) Nathalie Lacroix unveiled the model of a “Respect” banner that will appear at the entrance of each school building this year.
This campaign is intended to target all stakeholders – students, staff, parents and the community at large. As the slogan emphasizes: ‘Respect – We Choose It! At the _վ_Ƭ, we choose to act with humanity, respect and empathy for everyone! Join us in building a stronger community.”
_վ_Ƭ administrators, special guests, students, staff and parents on hand at the assembly were all asked to give their opinion on why “Respect” is so important. A variety of special programming on this theme will be unveiled throughout the year.
Honoré-Mercier Principal Sonia Marotta and her staff embraced the theme, wearing t-shirts with different “Respect” slogans. There was also artwork and balloons expanding upon the theme as well.
