Sensory Path at Notre Dame School

Notre Dame School students came back from the Christmas break to find an exciting feature added to their school environment. 

A large bright coloured sensory path now takes up the main hallway of the school.

The sensory path is a large vinyl decal that was designed and applied to the floor by Ultra Print North Battleford over the holidays in Notre Dame School (Light of Christ Catholic School Division). Pre-Kindergarten teacher, Britana Bidart helped head this project from the beginning stages to overseeing the installation.

“The new path can be used during indoor recesses for those who really need a physical break to recharge and reset. It can serve the kids who need to take a break from class because they are overwhelmed, disrupted, over active or tired. It also provides just a bit more physical activity for those using it on their way to and from the office, washroom, or other classrooms.” Explains Mrs. Bidart.

Ultra Print in North Battleford was a huge part of making this happen for Notre Dame School.

Ultra Print was able to take the ideas Notre Dame School had and create and adjust the design to the needs of the school.

Staff members of Ultra Print worked closely with teachers to get the design just right.

“We were very pleased to have been asked to participate in the design and installation of these sensory paths. It is encouraging to know that there are caring educators in our community that are willing to initiate these types of projects and we are grateful for the opportunity to help when we can. We truly hope that these paths will have a positive impact on the children in the school.” Carey Tollefson (Co owner Ultra Print).

The students of Notre Dame have been able to utilize this path more so with the cold weather this month.

“It’s just been so exciting to see the kids using it and it has been kids of all ages that are using and enjoying it. It is wonderful to have this extra tool in our toolbox to help our students in their learning environment.” Britana Bidart.
