'WALL OF FAME' BEGUN BY THE GRADE 7 CLASS OF 2010!!

All the Grade 7 students of the 2009-10 year were given the opportunity to leave a bit of themselves behind as they move on to high school.  A colored handprint and signature of each student now adorns the 'wall' bordering our deck by the music portable.  Each year's Grade 7 class in future will be invited to do this ... until we run out of wall!

See photos in our Image Gallery!

A GREAT SITE FOR FAMILIES TO EXPLORE: 

 Go to www.hastebc.org and then go to "Calculate Travel Emissions"  on the right.  Parents and kids can calculate the distance from their home to school and then their GHG (Green House Gas) emissions, depending on how they travel.
