Katzie Welcome Posts

On June 21st, National Aboriginal Day, we had the official opening of our school with the installation of our welcome posts! Here are a few pictures of the day.

National Aboriginal Day

This year marks the 20th anniversary of National Aboriginal Day in Canada. We have been listening to stories, enjoying our "campfire" and telling our own stories. Students have loved the teepee set up in the library learning commons. Reading, researching, building and creating have all happened this week!

Stay tuned...we have a very special event coming up on June 21st! 

And the winner is...

Lion vs. Rabbit, by Alex Latimer.

Thanks to everyone who voted! I'm looking forward to next year's nominees! 

Summer Reading Club

Kindergarten to Grade 4 classes had a presentation given by staff from the Cloverdale Branch of the Surrey Public Library to learn about the Summer Reading Club Program. The theme of this year's club is "Book a Trip" and there are fun contests, presenters and the opportunity to earn a medal for reading for 49 days. Thanks to Laura and Lucy for coming out to visit our school and tell us about this great program!
