Canada Day at Newton’s Grove

Uncategorized

As July 1 approaches, we look forward to a moment of pause and celebration. For many Canadians, Canada Day is a chance to enjoy the outdoors, gather with friends and family, and take in the best parts of summer.

At Newton’s Grove, we see it as an opportunity to reflect on community. Whether you’re spending the long weekend with loved ones, exploring local events, or simply enjoying a slower pace, this holiday is a reminder to take care of yourself and recharge.

Tips for a Relaxing Long Weekend

If you’re staying close to home this year, here are a few small ways to make the most of your time off:

• Go for a quiet walk
  A little fresh air goes a long way. Whether it’s a stroll in the neighbourhood or a walk through the park, getting outside can be both grounding and energizing.
  
• Unplug for a while
  Taking a short break from screens—even just an hour—can help clear the mind and make space for rest.
  
• Enjoy something simple
  A good book, a homemade meal, or even a quiet coffee in the backyard can turn into a small but meaningful ritual.
  
• Stretch and breathe
  These little things are easy to overlook during the school year. Now’s the perfect time to slow down and reset.
  

A Note to Our School Community

Canada Day means different things to different people. While it’s often a time for celebration, it can also be a time for learning, reflection, and acknowledging the many voices that make up this country.

At Newton’s Grove, we value community, kindness, and understanding. However you choose to spend the day, we hope it brings you peace, connection, and a chance to appreciate the small joys around you.

Happy Canada Day.
