Congratulations to @westcot_school Grade Six Band on a terrific start to their school band journey! 41 students. 4 weeks of band. 6 notes learned. 30 pieces practiced. Amazing! @WestVanSchools
This post is a little less work-focused than usual and more personal and reflective. As the summer invites us to slow down, I’m sharing a story about music, memory, and connection.

“Singing makes me feel calm,” said a student to me this morning. I couldn’t agree more! @westcot_school Grade One students enjoy singing the lively Canadian song Donkey Riding.

It was a Musical Monday for our Westcot Community, hosted by St. David’s Church and attended by 3 of our feeder day cares and preschools. Thank you @MeeMusicBand @sefulton for showcasing our talented students.
Captain Nicola Goddard was the first Canadian woman soldier to lose her life in a combat role. Remembrance assembly on Friday @westcot_school will appreciate how the important role of women in Canada’s military has changed over time. @WestVanSchools
Grade Seven band @westcot_school proudly showing off their Halloween costumes early this morning! What a fun rehearsal in costume!

I’m always grateful every year when our wonderful PAC @westcot_school provide a generous allocation of funds to each teacher! This year was no different, and I was able to purchase this fantastic Yamaha bass drum to enhance our band sound! @WestVanSchools
Congratulations Grade Six on a successful first day of band @westcot_school! Thank you to our amazing @WestVanSchools facilities team who worked hard over the summer to enhance our music and band space!
Is having a tuba in elementary band a first for @WestVanSchools? A tuba might be in a high school band, so @westcot_school could be making history by purchasing a tuba for our instrument library! Grade 6 student Yiyang demonstrates the exciting new bass depth to our band sound.
Thank you @MeeMusicBand for setting the tone. Kicking off our Spring Fling @westcot_school with a Courtyard Concert from our Gr6 and Gr7 bands - Yes, that’s YMCA.
Proud moment today as my son Silas had his impressive @RockridgeSS graduation ceremony at the Orpheum. Thank you @WestVanSchools for the amazing learning opportunities @EHNews@westcot_school@TenTonRobotics and Rockridge! He looks forward to Mechatronic System Engineering @SFU!
Grade Two student @westcot_school, Freya, wows her classmates with an impressive performance of one of my favourite pieces of music called Czardas. Notice that Freya only glances at her music occasionally, demonstrating her dedication to her violin practice!
