Power Outage

Derrek Beam — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:47:10 +0000

Greetings Parents & Caregivers;

We are experiencing a power/internet outage. I’m able to connect using the hotspot on my phone.

School is running as normal for the time being, as we have plenty of light (and it’s obviously nice and warm out).

The outage map shows that the outage is under investigation – no crew assigned at this time.

We plan on continuing with our Secondary Year End assembly…I’m heading home to grab a generator…

Indigenous Day Activities

Our ISSW (Ms L. Stacey) worked hard to organize a fantastic afternoon of engaging activities for our entire school today. Our students played Handgames, Ox-Fighting, Leg Wrestling, and Antler Toss. They also participated in Beading, Pointilism Art, and enjoyed an amazing artifact display provided by Ms Baytaluke. The very popular “Taco-Bannock” station was so yummy! A big thank you to W6 for your generous donation of ground beef! I’d also like to thank our staff, parent/community volunteers, and so many senior students for helping to prepare and run stations. Go HAWKS Go!

Note: We have quite a bit of extra Taco-Bannock supplies left, so we will be providing this station again tomorrow as an extra-snack for interested students (be sure to still bring a regular lunch).

Our grades 3-6 students presented some fantastic “Favourite Animal” and “Passion Projects” today to the entire school, as well as parents/caregivers. Thank you to the many folks who joined us to learn about the great work our students are doing. Also, thank you to our many secondary students for volunteering to set up and take down tables. Below are some pictures I took…I don’t think I was able to get all of the students, but we still have more to download from other staff. Go HAWKS Go!
