Kindness Storm 2025

A storm is brewing....

This holiday season, the staff and students at École Wascana Plains are launching a Kindness Storm — a school-wide outreach initiative led by our Bisons for Change student leadership group and their teacher facilitator, Daya Madhur.

Throughout December, every classroom will be selecting a community project to support through fundraising, donations, or acts of service. Our goal is to spread kindness far beyond our school — and we’d love for you to join the Storm!

How students and families can participate:
