A very special thank you to the HGE PAC for their support in cost sharing the purchase of our new high jump mat cover!!!
A fun time was had by all our indigenous grade 4 and 5 students that participated in the Siya Festival.
Students from Mrs. Hanson & Mrs. Marsich's classes designed various bubble wands out of pipe cleaners with Mrs. Hardman in ADST and tested them out!
On Wednesday, June 18, our entire school student population participated in Sportball Okanagan day of FUN SPORT. Our classes enjoyed a series of sessions lead by the coaches of Sportball. They learned about all things hockey, baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and football! The coaches came with GREAT energy and enthusiasm. Sportball shared that our students were “some of the kindest kids I’ve ever met”!! Such an beautiful compliment to our school community! A big thank you to PAC for their support in cost sharing this experience with us! We’ll definitely bring Sportball Okanagan back again!
