How will you make your mark?

We celebrated International Dot Day in our library this week from First Steps all the way through Grade 8. Students were asked, "How will you make your mark?"

Inspired by the award-winning book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, our students made their marks by creating their very own dots. Students were excited to discover that all around the world this week, people are reading the book and creating art starting with just a single dot.

Our beautiful, colourful and unique set of dots came together to make a giant dot outside of our library doors. Each dot represents the creativity of each of our students and together our dots make quite a splash! Please stop by to take a closer look and add your mark if you haven't already.

Here is a lovely read aloud of the The Dot from the Snugglebug Storytime YouTube channel:

Many of our students enjoyed dancing along with Emily Arrow's song inspired by the book. Give it a try and sing and dance along.

"Make a mark. All you've got to do is start. Make a dot and watch it splatter. Make a mark. Make it matter!"
