DAY OF THE DEAD

On Wednesday our whole school participated in the Day of the Dead celebrations by making an altar in their homeroom. At lunch, student council provided a treat of taco chips, taquito, and Pan de Muerto bread with hot chocolate!

Congratulations to Mrs. Perez-Leferve's class for the win!

INTERNATIONAL FIELD TRIP

Our awesome group of international students went to the corn maze at O’Keefe ranch. On the way they stopped to have a picnic at Kekuli bay to enjoy the view of Kalamalka lake. What a great spot to take in the beauty of our region!
