Our (Ms. Gatt and Mrs. Dutchak) totems are all finished. Students learned about the significance of totem poles to the West Coast Indigenous groups of Canada. They studied traditional colours, animals, carving tools and techniques as well as the types of totem poles.

Just a friendly reminder that if you are emailing the school to let us know of student absences, please email bertambrose@prn.bc.ca. This is the school email and it is the one that is checked by a replacement if Mrs.

Mrs. Watchel’s 2018-19 Kindergarten class enjoyed a visit with Baby JT and Mrs. Larsh from our Roots of Empathy program. The students were excited to see how many new milestones Baby JT has achieved! 

Some of our primary classes, Mrs. Kursteiner, Mrs, Tacey and Mrs. Beleznay, had a wonderful time making dreamcatchers with our Indigenous Student Support Worker (ISSW) Ms. Maclean.

Students at Baldonnel Elementary School built a 10 x 12 shed as part of an ADST project. Please see attached poster for information about how the silent auction will work to sell this project.  Feel free to bid if you are interested to support the efforts of students in our District. 

We would like to thank everyone who donated for Arlo’s surgery. She is doing well and is able to come home tonight!
