For the month of February, our school community will focus on the teaching of Courage/Bravery (Aakwa’ode’ewin). We continuously face life with courage, this allows us to use our personal strengths to face difficulties. We can stand tall through adversity, and make positive choices to become better.
Happy New Year! As 2025 comes to a close, we hope the past year provided many moments to pause, reconnect, and enjoy meaningful time with family and friends. Amid the busyness of life, it is easy to push meaningful moments aside, trusting that there will always be more time ahead. This past year has reminded us, in very real ways, how precious and fragile that time truly is.
As we welcome 2026, we encourage everyone in our school community to move forward with intention—placing wellness, gratitude, and connection at the forefront. May this new year be guided by presence, balance, and care for both ourselves and one another, with a renewed appreciation for the moments that matter most.
Mark your calendars as booked for December 16th (snow date of the 17th) for the Burkevale Christmas concert! Despite our library still being on the stage, a student population that is beyond the capacity of our gymnasium (let alone when parents and/or grandparents join in the festivities), we are forging ahead, once again with our Christmas concert. A special thanks to Mr. Kent and Ms. Keefer for giving up their space for the week! Creative minds hashed out a schedule so that all loved ones would have the opportunity to come and watch the students celebrate the joys of Christmas. Our evening will be divided into four separate time frames, with the kindergarten students going first, followed by grades one to threes, fours and fives, and finally the grades six to eight group.
