Good day out there, South Nelson.

A few details to note, but first a big Thank You to our staff for involving students in Earth Day activities yesterday in the classroom, on our grounds, and out in the wider community!

  • SD8 & South Nelson digital calendar - https://southnelson.sd8.bc.ca/events/calendar.
    • New order & delivery dates for Georama fundraiser.
      • Ordering now open through munchalunch from April 20 until May 4 at midnight.
      • Delivery week of May 16.  More details to come via email to those who place orders.
      • In the past we have aimed to get the plants delivered in time for Mother's Day. Unfortunately due to a reduction in spring sunshine so far this season and many cold nights, the crop is a bit delayed in growth.  It has been recommended (and requested) that we push our fundraiser back a bit to account for this. Please see below the new Georama fundraiser information - purchase through Munchalunch account.  Thanks for your understanding and accommodation!
    • Professional Development Day, no school for students - April 25.
    • Class photos (not in website calendar) - April 27 during the morning.
