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.

A packed house gathered, spirits shining bright.   

Standing room only, a festive delight,   

For our Winter Concert, a magical sight.

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.

Lunch is a very big deal at Crawford Bay School.

Crawford Bay school is so very fortunate to be able to welcome Elder Donna Wright to our school all through the year. We call her Grandmother Donna, and she brings incredible joy and knowledge to our school.

This month, I want to share my gratitude for some unexpected gifts we have received in our district and in our schools through the month of October. 

First Annual Fall Family Festival and Celebration of Learning

Hello Crawford Bay School Community. 

Welcome to the fall. You’ll notice that like the leaves on the trees in late-September and early October, this issue of the Superintendent’s Report looks a bit different than it did a few months ago.

A warm welcome to September and to the 2023-2024 school year. I am pleased to welcome every one of our more than 4700 students and each family whose child or children have embarked on what may be a first or a next chapter of their educational journey within School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake).
