November MMM Kindness Celebration
In November, we celebrated 27 incredible students from Kindergarten through Grade 5 who were nominated by staff for truly demonstrating our Kindness Look-Fors—helping others, using caring words, including classmates, and spreading positivity throughout the building.
To honor these students, we hosted our Kindness Rocks Celebration, where each nominee created a Kindness Rock to represent the positive ripples their actions create across our school community. Students chose colors, symbols, and words that captured the spirit of kindness and the impact they have on those around them.
Our celebration highlighted what makes AC Whelan special: students lifting one another up, showing empathy, and making our school a welcoming place for all.

October MMM Friendship Celebration
In October, we celebrated 29 amazing students who were nominated by their teachers for truly demonstrating our Friendship Look Fors, including kindness, inclusion, and support for others.
During our “Crowning Our Friends” ceremony, students were recognized for being role models of friendship at AC Whelan. Each student received their own crown and even decorated a second crown for a friend of their choosing in honor of their nomination.
The celebration concluded with a joyful Friendship Parade through the hallways as the entire school cheered on our nominees; a moment filled with smiles, laughter, and pride.
