This Week @ Journey April 19-23

Our Vision is Run to Be Here, and our Mission Statement is ASPIRE.  This month we are focusing on reducing our waste at Please do your best to send a Litterless lunch to for your child each day.  Each Monday morning, we will draw names for amazing prizes. Prizes are being provided by BC Parks, the CRD and Journey’s PAC.

It’s Spring and kids are growing! We’ve noticed they are needing some extra nourishment lately. Please check with your child to see if they are bringing enough lunch and snacks to make it through the day.  We have a breakfast program which students are welcome to access each morning, and a lunch program that they can sign up for each afternoon.  

Learning Commons Update:  April is National Poetry Month!  We invite you to celebrate with your student using one of these creative suggestions from the Academy of American Poets: 30 Ways to Celebrate the 25th Annual National Poetry Month.  You can also encourage your student to check out some of the great books of poetry and novels written in verse that we have available in the Journey Library Learning Commons!

• We also still have a few tablets available in the LLC for students wanting to try an audiobook or eBooks during silent reading!  There are some exciting early success stories from this pilot project – we are always working towards helping students identify as readers and develop a lifelong habit of reading.
