COMMUNITY NEWS:
The Salmon Have Arrived! Mr. Smyth’s Division 7 class (room 205) have received 55 salmon eggs and the class will be monitoring and taking care of them over the coming months. Students and families are welcome to come see the salmon after class is dismissed during the week. The eggs will likely hatch in late February. Students of Division 7 will continue to nurture the salmon until they transition to the fry stage, at which point they will release them into Stoney Creek in early May. This project not only offers a hands-on learning experience but also fosters a deeper connection with our local environment. We look forward to seeing many of you at the viewings and sharing this remarkable journey with our community.
Ballohlic Basketball Winter Session – Registration is open and the program is offered to Grade 1 – 6 students. Click here for the flyer.
Grade 5 Info Session for Late French Immersion – Families of Grade 5 students are invited to learn about Late French Immersion Programs in our District at an information session taking place on Thursday, January 23rd at 6:30pm at École Alpha Secondary (click here for more information on this information session).
Burnaby Schools hosts Late French Immersion Programs in two elementary schools, Armstrong Elementary and Marlborough Elementary, with entry starting at grade 6. The programs provide an opportunity for interested students from across the District to learn the French language in an effective and intensive manner. Completing the Late French Immersion Program in grades 6-7 provides students the opportunity to enter the French Immersion Program at one of our three secondary schools offering French Immersion, with those students graduating from the program with a Dual Dogwood Diploma.
For more information on the Late French Immersion Program, please visit our website https://burnabyschools.ca/late-french-immersion/
