End of an era - after 25 yrs of P.A.L.S. (Parents as Literacy Supporters) we held our LAST one in #sd33 ! To the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles that showed up for their 5 yr olds! 👏🏼 to the #kindergarten teachers & Admin for making this amazing program happen every year!
Earlier this week we learned about various fishing and animals resources of Sto:lo People. Engaging and hands on for students to understand First Peoples natural resource methods. #sd33learns
It was a great morning of learning and adventure at the annual Canoe Pull event. McCammon Elementary is grateful for all of the work put in by our Indigenous support staff across the school district and our friends at Skwah First Nation. #sd33learns#sd33HumanSocial
ChillTalks: Kathryn Popma of Indigenous Ed. has visited 40 classes this year, teaching about the stories of this land with a giant map of Canada! And listen to how she brings Indigenous perspectives about health to support students and staff!

What an incredible process to be part of and have the privilege to witness the amazing CarrieLynn Victor bring our ideas to such beautiful fruition. #mural#indigenousart#sd33learns
The Aboriginal Ed Department got out for some ‘together time’ today. Sometimes being out in the sunshine with your work family is what the heart needs during such a tough time 🧡#Abed#sd33learns
Sadly due to Covid restrictions we couldn’t hold our Annual Canoe Pull down at the water at Skwah First Nation - but we managed to have 2 amazing days anyway! #Abed#Sd33learns
