Welcome to December!
 

It seems like such a whirlwind these past few months! At this time of year, I reflect on my work and my time as principal and how grateful I am to work in such a warm and welcoming community. 

As we leave November behind us and move into December toward the winter break and the half-way point in the school year, it's a great time to reflect on the past three months and how school communities and SD8 as a whole are supporting each child in their learning journey.

Happy November!

It's my pleasure to share this month's happenings across our school communities. Throughout the early fall months, students have engaged in a wide variety of learning activities and events from marking Métis Awareness Month at W.E.

The Teepee is the Teacher 

SD8 students from kindergarten to grade 12 as well as families and staff are one month into the school year and settling into the rhythm of a new season, new classrooms, new and returning classmates and so much energy and enthusiasm as thousands of learning journeys are underway.

Good Afternoon WEG Families,

Just a friendly reminder of a few things for this week:

Student Fun Day on Sept 11….Students are gathering in multi-age teams and led by the Valhalla Wilderness class through a series of stations so that students can get to know each other.  What a great way to start the year!

A warm welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. 

On September 3, about 4,700 children will leave home in the morning excited to see their friends, full of anticipation and maybe even some apprehension about beginning a new year, a new classroom, or a new school. 

The school year is coming to a close in a few weeks and hundreds of high school graduates across our district will reach out their hands to accept their Certificate of Graduation or B.C. “Dogwood diploma.”
