- Bootcamp – Starting the mornings off right!
Mrs. Parsons and Ms. D are running a morning bootcamp for students right after the first bell for around 15 minutes. They report that it’s going really well. They average 15 students on a daily bases and the students seem to be into improving their activity skills in running, skipping, push ups, stretching, etc. They are having lots of fun out there!
2. Green Thumb Theatre – The Invisible Girl
This play was about a girl who used to be part of the most popular group at school until she is shut out by her friends. Through this experience the girl realizes that many other students are left out because of their size, clothes, or even what they bring for lunch. The Play gave the chance for students to talk about bullying, teasing and the benefits of inclusion. A great learning performance!
3. Breakfast club
We are so fortunate to have Mrs. Yachuk and Mrs. Robinson organize breakfast club for our school each morning with the support of many volunteers
4. Morning Classroom Reading
Parents are welcome in Mrs. Jackson’s class on Wednesday and Friday mornings to start the day by sharing books with their child and others.
5. The School Garden
Last year the kids planted pumpkins and harvested them this year. There were enough pumpkins for each classroom! Division 5 also roasted the sunflower seeds from the sunflowers in the garden and shared them with every class as well. We love our school garden!

7. Generous Donation from the Langley Centre TD Bank
One of our moms, Mrs. Dear, works at the Langley Centre TD Bank and her branch manager Mr. Aulakh generously donated $500 to the school to put towards something FUN for the kids.
