Mrs. Bonikowsky’s grade  2 / 3  class at South Nelson has been learning outside once a week for at least two hours since the beginning of the school year. We are thankful to be surrounded by many parks and trails.

Superintendent's Report - Midwinter Edition

Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year. It's a time when family and community are invited into our schools to watch - and in many cases participate in - holiday concerts and events.

South Nelson Winter Concert

Congratulations to our students on a job well done at the winter concert! We had elves, snowflakes, snowmen and lumps of coal galore! The winter holiday sentiment was high and everyone enjoyed both singing and playing for our family and friends. 

Our Gr. 4/5's introduced the show with a land acknowledgement and an Indigenous drumming song.

Then, our Gr. K/1 classes showed up in winter style and sang "Snowman Joe" and "Snowflakes".
