Well, it's been quite a fun and exciting year for our wonderful neighbourhood school!
There were so many amazing projects and events this year - the staff, students and families should be incredibly proud of all they accomplished!
Recorder festivals, track meets, science shows, raising butterflies and salmon, family movie nights, the 1st annual walk-a-thon, the Olympic concert, fields trips to Hastings Park and the Serpentine Wildlife Area, Sports Day, and the year-end BBQ’s – and these are only a portion of all the fantastic things our kids got to do this year at Dr. A.R. Lord Elementary School.
In the fall, our kids will start another great year – welcoming a new group of Kindergarten students, a new Vice Principal and having all students together in the Lillooet Building. Next year will also see some exciting new programs for our school. We are thrilled to announce the school has been accepted as part of the BC Fruit & Vegetable Nutritional Program. Students and school staff will receive a fresh, locally grown fruit or vegetable snack weekly, free of charge. The PAC is also looking forward to installing a community garden and hopes to implement a school milk program. We will be hosting more fun family movie nights, community BBQ’s and many other projects to support our teachers and children.
On behalf of the Parent Advisory Committee, we’d like to wish everyone a relaxing, sunny and fun summer. We’ll see you all on Tuesday, September 7th!
