Dear St'a7mes Families,
We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our first Book Fair in many years! This is an exciting opportunity for all our students to build their home libraries and foster a love of reading.
Every student will have access to funds to purchase their own books, ensuring that each child can bring home something to read. If you’d like to send additional money with your child, please know that a portion of all book sales will come back to St'a7mes to support literacy initiatives in our school.
The Book Fair will run from March 3rd to 5th, and we warmly invite families to come and join in! Reading both inside and outside of school is so important, and we are excited for every student to take home books of their own.
If you have any questions, please connect with Victoria Dendy, our school librarian, at [email protected]. A huge thank you to Jackie Williams with the Squamish Nation PAC for getting things rolling and to Lisa (currently on maternity leave) for her contributions in the early stages.
We can't wait to celebrate books and reading with our students and families!
Please join me in celebrating the following students who lived by our school values this week:
Wanáxws- Milana
Chén̓chenstway- Owen
Tímit- Alexis
Take care,
Cory Hartling
