Dear St’a7mes Families,

First and foremost, our hearts are with everyone impacted by the wildfires. We are especially thinking of and grateful for those working tirelessly to keep our community safe.

As shared in a previous communication, our pit cook has been cancelled due to current conditions. Instead, we are excited to invite you to a Tl’a7ashn celebration here at the school. This special event will feature a salmon feast, and each class will be preparing dishes to contribute. We warmly encourage all families to attend and, if you are able, please consider bringing a dish to share.

The Tl’a7ashn will also include door prizes, singing, dancing, and a chance to showcase some of the beautiful films created during our learning at Porteau Cove.

Finally, we want to lift up and honour three students who truly demonstrated our school values this week:

Chén̓chenstway - Edward

Tímit - Thiago

Wanáxws - Allie

We look forward to seeing you at the Tl’a7ashn and celebrating together as a community.

Take care,

Cory Hartling
Principal, St’a7mes School
