So exciting to come back after the break to find the new sound system in the gym! Many thanks to our Auction Committee 2018 and to the Selkirk Parent Group (SPG) for ensuring that the money was in place to make this happen. Can't wait for our next assembly!
Students of all ages were enjoying the equipment that arrived today! Thanks to Sahej, Simon, Dallas and Will for helping Brian move the pieces up to the rooftop from the delivery truck. The new play equpment ROCKS!
Our very own Yoshiko Barber has been promoting Montessori -- and our beautiful school -- since her first child was enrolled at our Oaklands campus over 20 years ago. We regularly host groups of Japanese student teachers at Selkirk, and Yoshiko organizes an informative program for them, including classroom observations and hands on experience with the materials. This year, she's taken it to the next level! In November, she had an opportunity to travel to OKU to make a presentation about our school to an even larger group. Congratulations, Yoshiko! You ROCK!!
Friday, November 2nd is Randon Acts of Kindness Day! We hope that our students, parents and staff will be extra kind to each other! Thanks to Karma for creating such a beautiful kindness board.
It was the perfect day for a very enthusiastic group of volunteer parents and staff to tackle a clean-up on one of our favourite play spaces, Ceclia Cove Park...better known as the 'Checkerboard". Ably led by parent Jennifer Jakobsen, the team spent three hours pruning, sweeping, digging, raking and slashing. A great team effort!
