This Week @ Journey May 7-11

Hello/Goodbye/Congratulations! – This week we welcomed our new full time Youth and Family Counsellor, Ms. Murielle Legacy. Ms. Legacy was working at Ecole Poirer and brings with her many years of experience working with children and families. Our current YFC, Ms. Krista Bodo has been working part time at Journey and part time at SD62 Westshore Sooke and will be now working at that site full time. We thank Ms. Bodo for the enormous amount of work she did for Journey and wish her well as she continues to service the families of Sooke. 

Thank you/Merci/Hych’ka to the parents and staff who helped out at the Spring Fling Dance on Thursday evening. Fun was had by all and we are so very impressed with our Leadership Team for organizing and running several booths at the dance. Thank you also to our local Sooke Mountain Cycle for suppling us with helmets for our Biking exploratory! Much appreciated.
