SCHOOL NEWS

Earlier this week, the Grade 4s took part in the hiwus First Nations cultural program at Grouse Mountain. Students snowshoed in the morning (carrying their backpacks the whole time!) and spent time in an authentic Pacific Northwest Longhouse in the afternoon. They enjoyed a meaningful presentation by a member of the Squamish tribe and learned about aboriginal culture through interactive activities including song, dance, and crafts. This rich experience complements the Grade 4 social studies curriculum and helps students to create connections to their environment.
 


Every year preschool and kindergarten students have the opportunity to make their own matzahs, done according to precise halachic (Jewish law) specifications.
