Happy February,

As we move into February we're already looking into next year's enrollment projections. If you know of any new families that are of kindergarten age, please let them know to register as soon as possible. 

We are nearing the 100th day of school and in primary grades, this is an important day of learning! All of our students are about halfway through the year, many have begun second semester, and everyone is in full learning mode in their classrooms, outdoors and in their communities.

Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year.

We are proud to introduce our student leaders from Ms. Nelson's grade six group (see below for more pics). These talented students will be a part of developing ideas for fun activities that fall in line with our school motto of, "A place for everyone".

This month, I want to share my gratitude for some unexpected gifts we have received in our district and in our schools through the month of October. 

A big thank you to our Blewett PAC for organizing another successful Spooky Fall Festivities. I think we had double the amount of people compared to last year. Thank you to our Blewett community for joining in on the fun and dropping a few coins in the donation jar to help support our kids.

Good Day Folks,

Hello Families,

Welcome to the fall. You’ll notice that like the leaves on the trees in late-September and early October, this issue of the Superintendent’s Report looks a bit different than it did a few months ago.

A warm welcome to September and to the 2023-2024 school year. I am pleased to welcome every one of our more than 4700 students and each family whose child or children have embarked on what may be a first or a next chapter of their educational journey within School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake).
