Welcome to a new week! We are crashing quickly into the end of May and the end of the school year. There are so many things happening these days. Read this week's update...

Mrs. Lehnert’s 1/2 class is actively reducing, reusing, recycling, and taking care of the environment! To kick off our Earth Day celebration, we participated in a garbage pick-up at Maple Forest, marking the beginning of our unit on the 3 R’s.

South Nelson students have talent! They showed off so many great skills and accomplishments at our recent talent show. There were performances of dance, gymnastics, music and even a magic show!  A creative synchronized swimming act mesmerized the audience and there was lots of engagement from viewers as they clapped and cheered along with the acts.

Hello Families, 

We are almost at the end of April! This week we have early dismissals and next week it will be May! The school year is flying by and these last couple months are already booking up quickly with year end learning activities and events. 

See below for this week’s update for what our students have been up to these last couple of weeks. 

Hello Families, 

Happy Spring and welcome back from spring break! It is hard to believe we are already into the last term of our school year. These next few months will be very busy with year end academic programming, field trips, and events. 

It was great to have everyone back last week and to hear all their stories about their holiday. Learning got well underway.

In the grade 2/3 class we have been working on practicing gratitude. The students created gratitude flowers, with each petal representing something for which they are grateful. As a group, we created a “gratitude garden” with the students colouring and cutting out the letters and adding butterflies. This latest project is part of a bigger goal to learn how to regulate and be ready to learn.
