Indigenous Education Residency
In line with our commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action #62-65, we are dedicated to fostering strong relationships with our Indigenous Community Leaders and Knowledge Keepers. This year, we are thrilled to welcome back Sra. Pearl White Quills as our resident Knowledge Keeper for the Indigenous Education Residency. Affectionately known as Sra. Pearl at Escuela Canyon Meadows, she will be returning throughout the school year to share her invaluable wisdom with our students.
On October 17, we kicked off the year in a good way with a welcome assembly in which Sra. Pearl shared some of her teachings through music and song for our whole student body. Following this, students engaged in enriching outdoor sessions in our Learning Meadows. They explored the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and embraced Indigenous ways of knowing, deepening their connection to the land.
Popcorn Day
Our first popcorn day of the school year will be October 23. This is a fundraiser and participation is optional. Student may buy a bag of popcorn for a toonie.
Parking in the Bus Zone
Please do not park in our bus zone. Cars parked in our bus zone make it very difficult for our students to exit the bus safely and efficiently. Thank you.
