December 2024

December 2, 2024
Good Morning Bakerview Families,
We cannot believe it is already December. Bakerview has it's very own Elf on the Shelf this year who brings prizes for students who spot the elf in his new spot each day.  The Elf also brought a special gift for every Bakerview student, a new pair of jogging pants. Students will receive their gift during the week of Dec 9!
 
Student of the Month
Congratulations to our November Student Of Month Matt Ebing!
 
Indigenous Department
Our cultural activities this month involve making card with an Elder. All classes will have an opportunity to participate.  Our Friday morning Halq'emeylem language class is going very well and remains open to all interested students.
Our Indigenous Family Gathering is Thursday Dec 5. It is a way for our families to gather and start the holidays in a good way. Indigenous families are asked to RSVP to Sylvia, our Indigenous Support Worker.
 
Careers
We had a very successful Resume Blitz month in November where all students updated their resumes and were then entered into a draw for prizes. We celebrated as a whole school with a special samosa lunch! Our Careers offerings this month include Food Safe Certification and WHIMS Certification. Our First Aid training this month had to be postponed so interested students should stay tuned for new dates in the new year.
 
Holiday Activities
Our annual school trip to the movies is December 12th and we are off to see Moana 2. Students can sign up to attend with their classroom teacher.
Students will have an opportunity to create holiday gifts as a class on Dec 16 and 17th. Students can sign up to participate with their classroom teacher.
We will be celebrating with our annual student Christmas lunch on December 19th. Santa will be visiting Bakerview during our turkey dinner lunch and will be bringing a small gift for each student!
