challenge
Thirty-five of our Grade 4/5 students have chosen to participate in the Reading Link Challenge Book Club, a program offered by the Pemberton Public Library with the support of the Signal Hill Elementary School library.  The Reading Link Challenge requires students to read as many as possible of six novels from November until the end of March and then they participate in a series of Jeopardy style games in April.  The students are placed into teams where they answer a variety of questions about the books that they have read.  The winning team in the first challenge, which is held at Signal Hill Elementary in the library, will participate in the final challenge against La Vallée, Pemberton’s francophone school, at the public library. For this year’s titles please see the RLC website at:
 
The Grade 6/7 Red Cedar Book Club will be kicking off soon – stay tuned for more information!

Off-Reserve Representative for Indigenous Education Council: Please share the following message with your school community:

 

Are you an Indigenous member of the community and would like to be more involved in Indigenous Education? The Indigenous Education Council is looking for an Off-Reserve Representative to contribute to the success of Indigenous students as they journey through education in the Sea to Sky school district. The council meets online 4 times per year, and the meetings are usually during the day for 2 hours. If you are interested and identify as an Indigenous person, please contact the Indigenous Education department: Sarah – [email protected] or Colleen Hannah – [email protected]  

Canada Dental Benefit for Children Under 12: Please help raise awareness for the Canada Dental Benefit. The first benefit period was a success, with 50% of eligible children in British Columbia—34,260—receiving the benefit. That’s something to smile about! 

 

The second and final benefit period will help cover dental care costs between July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and it is important that all eligible families know about the benefit and how to apply. Even families who applied during the first benefit period can re-apply for the final benefit period. Please see this factsheet for more information.
