Welcome Back| Nice to See You!
What an amazing first week of school! Our Kindergarten to Grade 2 students returned with big smiles, curiosity, and excitement. Classrooms were buzzing with energy as students reconnected with friends, explored their new learning spaces, and began settling into routines.
We loved seeing all the smiling faces on the first day, and our annual Pancake Breakfast made the morning extra special. Sharing a meal together helped create a warm, welcoming start to the year and set the tone for a positive year ahead.
Thank you to all our students and families for helping make the first week so memorable. We can’t wait for a year filled with learning, growth, and wonderful moments together!
Iinii Insights |
As we begin this school year, we are embracing the spirit of Iikakimat—a Blackfoot word that reminds us to try hard, persevere, and support one another. This teaching encourages us to keep going, even when things feel challenging, and to celebrate each step of progress along the way. Together, as a school community, we will work with care, resilience, and determination to help every student grow, succeed, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
