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.

Kirsten's Class is fundraising for their trip to Fort Steele by selling beautiful Wildflower t-shirts and bags. Place your order on the Munchalunch website at https://munchalunch.com/login and select Wildflower School.
The order deadline is March 7, 2024.

February has been a busy month here at Wildflower. Classes have been venturing outdoors to explore the winter world around us, and though they haven't found much winter weather, they have still found immersive learning experience and good times. 

It is hard to believe that I have been the principal of Wildflower for a month now. It has been a whirlwind but even in the hard times, it has been filled with joy. I very much want to thank the students, teachers and families of Wildflower for the warm welcome. Even though I have been here for just a short time I am already starting to feel a strong connection to everyone here.

We are nearing the 100th day of school and in primary grades, this is an important day of learning! All of our students are about halfway through the year, many have begun second semester, and everyone is in full learning mode in their classrooms, outdoors and in their communities.

Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year.

This month, I want to share my gratitude for some unexpected gifts we have received in our district and in our schools through the month of October. 

Welcome to the fall. You’ll notice that like the leaves on the trees in late-September and early October, this issue of the Superintendent’s Report looks a bit different than it did a few months ago.

A warm welcome to September and to the 2023-2024 school year. I am pleased to welcome every one of our more than 4700 students and each family whose child or children have embarked on what may be a first or a next chapter of their educational journey within School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake).

Some of the students spent a few hours at Oso today and sold over $400 in tickets! Nicely done!

There is still time for you to help out by taking a book to sell or buying some tickets.
