Information

Thank you for Multicultural Day

Thank you to all of the family members and students who volunteered to share their knowledge to help us grow our cultural understanding and appreciation. Our students all had a wonderful time, and could talk to me about something they learned during the day. I cannot say strongly enough what a great experience this sort of event is for kids. Thank you all for your support!

Student Inclusive Conferences Music Experience:  

Please let us know if you are moving away

Parents are asked to inform the school as soon as possible if/when they know that their children will be leaving our school or not returning in the fall. Please complete our withdraw form and email it to  cdavies@sd35.bc.ca

Are you going to be away for an extended period?

Please complete the Student Missing School Time Form, if your student(s) are going to be away from school due to an extended vacation, or a family leave, and email it to  cdavies@sd35.bc.ca

Lost and Found

Check out the lost and found.  There is lots to see there, and there will be more each day the weather is warm enough for jackets to become a burden that must be dropped on the playground in the middle of recess. Unclaimed items will be donated on the last day of school before spring break.

Quote(s) of the week

Something to watch…

• So this has nothing at all to do with school. But I came across a TED Education video on how microwave ovens work, why metal sparks in them, and how they came to be in the first place. I thought it made for an easily digestible learning experience. Cooking with Radar.
• And again, this has nothing to do with school, but this video goes back to the beginnings of Smokey the Bear, the US Forest Service Wildfire Education mascot. And those beginnings are waaaay back before Mr. Oliver (or even his dad, in fact) was even born.
