100 Mile Elementary
Our recent Science Fair was a wonderful celebration of curiosity, creativity, and learning in action. With 121 student participants, the gym was filled with thoughtful questions, innovative ideas, and a wide range of projects that reflected both scientific thinking and personal passion.
Students explored topics from the natural world to engineering and experimentation, demonstrating not only their understanding of scientific concepts, but also their ability to wonder, investigate, and communicate their learning. It was inspiring to see students confidently share their thinking and engage in meaningful conversations about their work.
This event was also a powerful example of our commitment to building an inclusive learning community. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Simcox for her leadership, and to the many community volunteers who served as judges—taking time to listen, ask questions, and honour each student’s thinking. Your presence helped make learning visible and valued.
We are equally grateful to the many families who supported students throughout the process—from wondering and planning, to building, testing, and presenting. This partnership between home and school is what allows our learners to thrive.
We were especially excited to see a buddy-class inquiry led by Mrs. Varney and Mrs. Simcox, exploring which colours of seeds birds are most attracted to—an example of collaborative, inclusive learning that brought students together across grades.
At École 100 Mile Elementary, opportunities like the Science Fair reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering belonging, collaboration, and shared responsibility for learning—where every learner is supported, celebrated, and inspired to grow.
