THRIVE Student Activities for remote learning
Get involved in August-mas!
During the next 12 days of August leading up to August-mas Day, we encourage you to get involved in positive activities and show your family and friends that you love and support them.
You can decorate your house or bedroom, send messages to family and friends that you can’t see at the moment, and spend quality time with those you are home with every day. We encourage you to celebrate the next 12 days with the ideas below and share photos on our EMC August-mas Facebook page, or Instagram with #EMCAugustmas.
