					<description><![CDATA[In honour of Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8, the Sea to Sky School District recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit veterans who have served in uniform. Indigenous peoples in Canada have a long-standing history of military service, with thousands bravely enlisting during major conflicts, from World War I and World War II to present-day peacekeeping missions. Their courage, resilience, and dedication to peace have left a lasting impact on Canada and the world. Today, we express our gratitude to all Indigenous veterans as we acknowledge their invaluable role in shaping our shared history and protecting our freedoms.

In honour of Indigenous Veterans Day, all school and district sites will lower the Canadian Flag to half-mast, and the flags will remain at half-mast until Remembrance Day.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[May is Child Care Month! Sea to Sky School District acknowledges and celebrates the incredibly valuable work of all early childhood educators and responsible adults working across the school district. We are lucky to have school district and community-based professionals facilitating early learning programming in Infant and Toddler programs, Preschool-aged programs, StrongStart, Seamless Day, and Out of School Care programs on school grounds. We know that these educators provide safe, nurturing environments that foster a sense of belonging and support the development of social and emotional skills that are foundational in a child’s life. The patience and care that these educated professionals provide to children and their families is recognized and appreciated this month and every month throughout the year!

Please join us in acknowledging and celebrating the work of our child care staff and the positive impacts they have on children, families, schools, and our community!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Please Note:  The following presentation is not intended to be viewed by students in Kindergarten to grade 3. Furthermore, adult guidance is recommended for intermediate students as the content includes visual, audio and thematic content related to war. Specifically, the video includes simulated sounds of guns firing and bombs exploding. There are also archived photographs showing battlefield conditions of World War 1, and actors dramatizing intense scenes.

After many months of reading two novels by Canadian Author, Sheron E. McKay, Charlie Wilcox and Charlie Wilcox's Great War, and exploring the themes of loyalty, friendship and courage, both in the historical context of World War I and in present day current events, students created a walk through "museum" and produced a culminating video production about their learning.  As depicted in the photos below, this multi-disciplined integrated inquiry project introduced students to new skills including researching and building authentic models (both miniature and life size), effective use of hand tools (saws, drills, etc.) dramatization, creative writing, and video production. Congratulations to the students for a year long endeavor turned into a celebration of learning.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The song 100 Years was written and performed by the band Five For Fighting (actually, he is a solo artist named John Ondrasik).

Our class created a video around the idea that our lives have three stages: beginning, middle, late. The class movie shows pictures from the students' very young years (so cute!) and scenes of them around the school this year. Imbedded in the school photographs are clues as to some of the topics that we studied this year (ie. racism, goal setting, skeletal system...hockey!). A consistent theme throughout the movie is that everyone should have a passion, and they should set goals to help them achieve their dreams. As one grade 6 student reflected: “I learned that my skills are not static, anything can be improved."
Enjoy and “Game on”!
Mr. Grantham]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This year marks the 14th International Pink Shirt Day.

Pink Shirt Day started in 2007, when two Grade 12 students — David Shepherd and Travis Price of  Nova Scotia — saw a Grade 9 student getting bullied for wearing pink. They brought a bunch of pink shirts to school and distributed them to other willing boys who donned them for the day in solidarity. 

This year Ms. Moo (Julie Murakami), our wonderful music teacher, taught all of our classes 'body percussion' to "Treat People With Kindness" by Harry Styles.  She then put together this video montage of their performances as well as other expressions of kindness seen around the school.  Be kind ... just because.]]></description>
