Spring has finally sprung! There is no surer sign that the seasons have changed than the beginning of eight weeks of training for our annual Reconciliation Run Walk Wheel taking place in all SD8 schools in June.

To celebrate the last day of school before Spring Break, we  had a tropical beach party! The expectation was high all week as student council students prepared for the dance by making decorations, setting up, and making a playlist. There was tropical themed music, palm trees, and everyone dressed up!

For winter activities, our primary classes participated in a series of four lessons in TaeKwonDo.

Master Dean from Kootenay Martial Arts came and led students in a series of activities in enhanced resilience training, and foundations of TaeKwonDo. 

Our winter activities are over and were a great success! 

Our Gr. 2/3's went cross-country skiing, and despite a low snow pack and adverse weather, they had some wonderful days of skiing to finish off their time at Apex.

Students have been very busy practicing their writing here at South Nelson this spring! 

K/1 Students: They have been doing directed drawing and learning to copy sentences. They designed their own leprechaun, described it's features and copied the sentence "My Leprechaun". Great spelling and printing Gr. K/1s!

The Grade 4/5 classes have completed the first round of the Reading Link Challenge, with one team moving on to the finals in April.

Hello Families,

Hello Families,

South Nelson showed up with kindness in a sea of pink for Pink Shirt day!

This past month has been a flurry of physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning in our six families of schools as students engaged in activities that stretched their skills, and exercised their understanding, leading us toward our upcoming spring break from March 18 to April 1.
