Spring has finally sprung! There is no surer sign that the seasons have changed than the beginning of eight weeks of training for our annual Reconciliation Run Walk Wheel taking place in all SD8 schools in June.
This past month has been a flurry of physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning in our six families of schools as students engaged in activities that stretched their skills, and exercised their understanding, leading us toward our upcoming spring break from March 18 to April 1.
Exciting times are ahead for our beloved school! We invite you to be a part of a transformative discussion on the future of our secondary school. Your input and ideas are invaluable as we explore ways to nurture growth, innovation, and success.
We are nearing the 100th day of school and in primary grades, this is an important day of learning! All of our students are about halfway through the year, many have begun second semester, and everyone is in full learning mode in their classrooms, outdoors and in their communities.
Our school learning plan is really coming to life! Our middle school learners, under the leadership of our district's School Leader Development Program, teacher, Lara Draper, are designing games to build our K/1 children’s letter, sound, and sight word vocabulary, our grade 2/3 students' memorization of addition facts and our grade 4/5 learners' multiplication facts.
Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year.
