PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE 

 

Dear St'a7mes Families,

As we wrap up another wonderful week at St'a7mes, I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible leadership I’ve seen across the school. It’s been truly inspiring to witness students at every grade level stepping up and embracing leadership roles, especially when it comes to showcasing and celebrating their culture and language. Our students are not only learning, but also leading with pride, and it's a joy to see them taking initiative in so many ways.

As the weather shifts and we see more rain in the forecast, please remember that outdoor play is an important part of our school day, so rain gear is essential! If you need assistance in acquiring any winter or rain gear for your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school. We are here to support you.

A quick reminder: Monday, November 18th, is a Professional Development Day for staff, so there will be no school for students. We hope you enjoy the long weekend and the extra time with your families!

Lastly, I want to acknowledge and celebrate a few students who have truly embodied our school values this week. Please join me in congratulating:

  • Wanáxws (Carson) for demonstrating leadership and respect.
  • Chén̓chenstway (Tristan) for his commitment to kindness and collaboration.
  • Tímit (Georgina) for her courage in stepping into new roles and responsibilities in particular with supporting our younger students. 

We are so proud of these students and the example they set for all of us.

Wishing you all a restful weekend, and we look forward to seeing you next week!

Take care, 

Cory Hartling

Principal, St'a7mes School
