Art with the East Side Program Students

Grade 3/4 students from A.R. Lord had the chance to view and learn about art from older students at the next door East Side Program School. They started off the visit with a workshop making painted book markers. They then got a tour of the art drawings and paintings exhibit that were created by grade 9/10 students.
This collaboration creates a leadership opportunity for these teens as part of their curriculum which includes fine arts and community building. The younger kids had a wonderful time and also practiced their hand at creating art.

Thank you for a fantastic Sports Day!

Thanks to all students, staff, families, DARLAA, and Eastside for a fantastic Sports Day. Even the rain co-operated by waiting until just before lunch, when we were safely under cover.

Have a great Victoria Day long weekend and see you back at school on Tuesday!

Christmas Events at Dr. A. R. Lord

What an exciting Christmassy week for the students at Dr. A. R. Lord! On Tuesday, some of our primary students visited the high school students over at Eastside Alternative School to build gingerbread houses together. There is an article and photos of the event on VSB District News.

Also on Tuesday, just in time for our Christmas singalong and slideshow, it snowed! Many of us came back to the school in the evening for a PJ singalong and hot chocolate.

On Wednesday, many of the classes were out of the school on field trips, despite the slushy weather.

On Thursday, our friends from DARLAA came by to help students with Christmas crafts and cookie decorating.
