​The staff and students raised just over a whopping $900.00 and met Mr. Lee's goal.  He arrived to school on the morning of September 26th sporting a new "pink" hair do!  The students and staff wore pink to show their support to Mr. Lee and this worthy cause.

​Aboriginal content is being embedded in the redesigned curriculum; so what does it look like?  Aboriginal perspectives and knowledge are a part of the historical and contemporary foundations of BC and Canada.  Aboriginal knowledge and worldviews have been embedded in the curriculum in authentic, meaningful ways so that all learners have opportunities to understand and respect their own cultural heritage as well as that of others.  In some areas of learning, explicit Aboriginal content is included (ie. information about residential schools in Social Studies; Aboriginal peoples uses of indigenous plants and animals, or knowledge of the sky and landscape in Science).  In other areas, there are opportunities to learn about Aboriginal people in the local community, for example, our Aboriginal literature.  From Kindergarten to graduation, students will experience Aboriginal perspectives and understandings as an integrated part of what they are learning.  For more information, check out: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/rethinking-curriculum (link is external).

​GRE's Circle of Friends ambassadors explained their work to the Board on Sept. 13. Students at GRE are making a real difference for their younger peers by using kindness to bridge gaps in age and learning!

​GRE encourages the development of responsibility and self-discipline in students which will result in personal rewards of self-reliance, dignity and a sense of self-worth.  Part of this development stems from regular attendance and punctuality.  Arriving late results in your children becoming behind in their class work and missed valuable instruction. Even a few minutes a day, adds up to substantial class time being missed over the year as well as additional teaching time lost for all students when the teacher has to re-explain what is happening for the late arrival.  Please make sure your child is on time, for their benefit and for all the other students in the class as well.  If there is something that the school can do to help remedy this, please let us know as we are here to support your children's learning.

Our school will be having four mini concerts throughout the year.  The cultural program for the year will feature: Storyteller  Jeff Leard - Oct. 19,  Drummer  Zac Gauthier  – Dec. 5,  Monster Theatre's Shakespeare's Dream – Mar. 13, and  Guitarist  Mark Kroos – May 24
