A warm welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. 

On September 3, about 4,700 children will leave home in the morning excited to see their friends, full of anticipation and maybe even some apprehension about beginning a new year, a new classroom, or a new school. 

Hello Blewett families!

We are excited to start the 2024-25 school year at Blewett!  There is much information to share with all of you.  Please read carefully and help your child get ready for the first day of school! Ways you can keep on top of what’s happening at our school include: 

The school year is coming to a close in a few weeks and hundreds of high school graduates across our district will reach out their hands to accept their Certificate of Graduation or B.C. “Dogwood diploma.”  

This has been a fun month at Blewett Elementary School with guest performances and fun activities. 

Aché Brasil is a troupe out of Vancouver who are passionate and enthusiastic about engaging young people in learning about the culture, the traditions, the music and movement of the people of Brazil. The kids loved the capoira acrobatics!

It feels like the school year speeds up this time of year!  May is when 2024 grads who have applied for scholarships are going through adjudication for their awards, while others are preparing to embark on their first steps in a career, apprenticeship, job search, gap year or post-secondary educational journey. 

Blewett Elementary School will be selling good quality mulch (fir) from 9:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday, May 11th. Proceeds will go to support kids activities, food subsidy programs, year end field trips, and more. 

What's Happening at Blewett Elementary School?

Spring has finally sprung! There is no surer sign that the seasons have changed than the beginning of eight weeks of training for our annual Reconciliation Run Walk Wheel taking place in all SD8 schools in June.

Happy spring!

This week we were honoured to have Joan Exley from CBAL come in to our school to work with the parents of our gr 1/2 students. Joan provided kits and games to help young readers gain a passion for reading. After a short lesson for the parents, students joined Mom and Dad for reading, games, and activities. Thank you, Joan!

This past month has been a flurry of physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning in our six families of schools as students engaged in activities that stretched their skills, and exercised their understanding, leading us toward our upcoming spring break from March 18 to April 1.
