“When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.” – Maria Montessori
Both casa and elementary students enjoyed a wide variety of experiences this year in and out of the classroom. We kicked off the year making our own apple cider from apples picked at Thrangu Montastery’s orchard followed by our annual community Pumpkin Pick. Students also visited Grouse Mountain, the Contemporary Art Gallery, Cleveland Dam, the Aquarium, and Beaty Museum as well as participated in science, mining, and film-making workshops with “Geering Up”, “Minerals Ed”, and “Reel2Real”. Warmest thanks as well to our parents for sharing their hobbies and careers with our students
In addition to the above activities, students also engaged in serving their communities by cleaning up their local beach, participating in “Bike-to-School” week, and raising funds for the Terry Fox as well as the Heart and Stroke foundations. They also raised funds for themselves at our “Home is Where the Art” is Talent Show & Auction. Funds raised are allocated for student enrichment such as field trips and workshops.
To wrap up the school year, Upper Elementary students went on a three-day excursion to Washington state. For some, this was their first time being away from home without their parents and they courageously dove right in without hesitation. What a great way to kick off their summer!
