Feeling thankful

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.

With anticipation, our school is registered to attend Monique Gray Smith’s virtual author’s visit tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. I am personally really looking forward to again hearing her stories and heartfelt words. Reminder for all to wear pink tomorrow, February 28th!

Virtual Author Visit

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.

Student leaders in Mr. V's class assisted in choosing the design and words to guide the school community into our new year together. Other classes have posted their snow people, bear focus, and animals in nature. Enjoy!

Hope-full!

With the arrival of snow, there has been much fun to be had! Whether the option be outside, for building, climbing, sliding, sledding and/or stomping kids are well dressed and up for it all. Others have elected to join one of our weekly rotating inside clubs. For example, on Tuesday’s, we have Floor Hockey for grades 3-6 and book club (for all).

Salmo Elementary held our winter concert, which was a huge success, to a full gym and student body to end off the first part of this school year. 

While families kept on arriving for the daytime performance, we had to shift to bring in more chairs to house the excited family’s, relations, and even some neighbors.
