A New Year of Creativity in the Art Room!
A New Year of Creativity in the Art Room!
One week down, and we’re already creating! From colourful butterflies representing our K to grade 8 school community, to exploring new techniques, our artists are off to a great start. We’re learning that the art room is a place to try new things, experiment, build confidence, and, of course, get a little messy along the way!
Our Kindergarten artists have begun playing with colours and practicing their names in French, while Grades 1/2 are exploring the world of warm and cool colours. Students in Grades 3 to 12 are exploring the elements of art and are beginning to practice sharpening their drawing skills, learning to look more closely at the world around them and building confidence in their abilities. Meanwhile, our Pottery students are digging into the history of pottery and getting ready to explore some hands-on techniques.
I’m excited to see what our amazing artists will create, discover, and accomplish this year! Parents are always welcome to reach out with any questions. I can be contacted anytime at rlamoureux@rrvsd.ca.

Welcome to a new school year!
The grade 1/2s have been busy getting used to their classrooms and learning new routines.
We had our first assembly of the year and we've been having fun playing outside at recess.
In class, we're reviewing numbers and letter sounds. We practiced reading quietly and worked on patterns. It's been a busy first week.
We can't wait to see what this year brings.
This school year, we had the pleasure of welcoming 32 new Grade 9 students as they began their high school journey. Their excitement and pride were evident as they embarked on this new chapter.
Throughout the day, students participated in a series of orientation sessions designed to help them navigate their new environment with confidence. They learned about the high school credit system, reviewed important school expectations (including the dress code, phone use, and plagiarism policies) and explored the wide range of clubs and sports available to them. They also received practical tips for staying organized and setting themselves up for success, along with a guided tour of the school facilities.
To help ease the transition and foster new connections, the day included a variety of fun icebreaker activities, giving students the opportunity to get to know one another and connect with their teachers. Overall, it was a positive and engaging start to their high school experience.
