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.

I hope that all of you enjoyed, yet another, stretch of non-interrupted family time this past long weekend. We had some great fortune to welcome to the school a host of bunny rabbits for a visit last week. Absolutely, precious!

April is a great time to reconnect with one another after spring break, and to reengage with our individual and collective purpose: to support and realize the success of each of our learners as we begin the final three months of the 2022-2023 school year.

A sense of community, an ability to embrace kindness towards oneself and toward others and feeling the joy of physical movement – these are three themes that you will see in this March report. These are also important elements for each child to excel in school and in life.
