Good day out there, South Nelson Community.

Thanks to Ms. Douglas and classroom teachers for organizing x-country skiing and WH20 days for five our our classes this winter, in spite of the need to consdier backup plans to backup plans.  We are also working on getting our four other classes invovled in indoor soccer sessions with Nelson Youth Soccer and possibly some skating time at NDCC.  Always great to see how our Kootenay kids thrive in being physically active!

Welcome back this year to Ms. Wilson who was the successful applicant for a leave in our grades 3/4 classroom!
