We had three artists visit and work with our grades 1-8 students. David Archibald helped the grades 1/2 and 3/4 students write a song while two drummers conducted an interactive workshop with our grade 4/5 and 6/7/8 classes. The Indigenous team came to do a beading workshop with the grade 3-8 students, as we learned about Treaties.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mrs. Ryan's class has been learning about 3D printing this week with staff from the central board office. They will soon be all set to teach the rest of the school this skill. We are enjoying the 3D printer that was purchased last year by our SAC. Thank you so much!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please see the list of events coming up below.
