Mile 108 Elementary
In Term 2, our whole school is focusing on Wisdom, inspired by the teachings of the Beaver. The Beaver reminds us of the importance of careful planning, persistence, determination, and steady, thoughtful work. Just as a beaver builds its lodge stick by stick with purpose and care, we are building our learning community in the same way. Each student added a “stick” to our Beaver dam/schoolhouse display, choosing a word that represents what they bring to our school community. This project highlights that every person has an important role, that we all belong, and that we come to our shared space of common goals with intention and care. Our bulletin board also honours Shuswap (Secwépemc) language, reinforcing our connection to the land and the relationships that strengthen our community.
