The last few weeks have been busy. We had the Terry Fox Run and raised over $5000!! A big thank you to Mr. Mathews and the grade 6/7 students for being leaders that day.
We also came together as a school community and honoured Truth and Reconciliation by having various teachings throughout the week and ending on Friday with a peace circle outside. Many of out students drummed being led by Mrs. Frayne and Mrs. Oakley. It was so amazing to see all of our students silently make a circle, honour the four directions and have a moment of reflection.
The Cross Country team had their first race as well. They have been practicing twice a week and then traveled to Aldergrove Lake Regional Park to finish a 2km trail race! So proud of their first attempt! Thank you to Mrs. De Giusti, Mrs. Frayne and Mrs. Davis for leading the practices and organizing race days.
The Grade 3's enjoyed special time with Elder Karen Gabriel. She talked about making bannock as she grew up and walked the students through the process. Everyone enjoyed delicious, cheesy, jam covered bannock!
Div. 4 went to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum as part of a series of hands on workshops. Students learned about composting, photosynthesis, soil, and weeded some garden plots.
The Topham Staff for 2025-2026! We are so thrilled to be able to work with your children every day and to be part of their learning journey.
