This spring, the SHE library received a grant from Canadian Children’s Book Week to host author/illustrator Braden Hallett for a presentation on Forbidden Drawing Secrets to our grade 5/6 classes. The students enjoyed this interactive workshop!


Congratulations to the Grade 4/5 students who participated in the 
Reading Link Challenge book club! This is a program offered by the Pemberton Public Library with the support of the Signal Hill Library. The Reading Link Challenge requires students to read as many as possible of six novels from November until April. They are then placed in teams to compete in a Jeopardy-style challenge, answering a variety of questions about the books that they have read. The 12 students who read all six of the books went on to an additional challenge against the team from École La Vallée at the public library. Our team won by one point and the students had a great time!

Our primary classes have just finished reading and voting on the Chocolate Lily Award picture book nominees.  The 
Chocolate Lily Book Awards celebrates the talent of BC's children's authors and illustrators.  "How to Make a Peanut Butter Sandwich in 17 Easy Steps" by Bambi Edlund got the most votes at Signal Hill and we are looking forward to finding out who the winner will be!

Red Cedar Book Club participants in Grades 6/7 are finishing up reading five or more fiction or non-fiction nominees. They are looking forward to our celebration on May 26th when they will vote, enjoy treats, and play some games!
