Totem poles inspire manners and respect FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Although it’s only been a few years since Gladys Leung was their age, she was surprised to discover the social
issues affecting today’s elementary school students. “It’s pretty shocking what’s happening in schools these days,” she said. The Grade 12 Cardinal Carter
Academy for the Arts student took part in the You’re a HERO (Help Everyone Remove Obstacles) project, conceived by the school’s visual arts program co-ordinator Aurora Pagano.
“I personally thought it was a very interesting experience,” Leung said. “There seems to be a lot of disrespect by students using (derogatory) terms I didn’t even know. They had to tell me what they meant.”
Pagano reached out to elementary schools to target grades 6 and 7 students to help them become more responsible for their environment and develop leadership skills, she said. >>>bullying, page 8
