Our Grade Five class did a wonderful job hosting our Remembrance Day ceremony this morning. Our young Wolf Pack choir and Glee Club sang beautifully as well. It was very moving to see all our students speak and sing so eloquently and graciously. Students from both campuses also attended the service at the Lynden Legion.

As part of their “Rocks & Minerals” science unit, the Grade 4s were introduced to basic cost management related to mining, including the cost of the reclamation of minerals by mining for “chocolate chips” in a cookie. Students needed to pay for their core sample (cookie), mining equipment (flat or round toothpicks or small metal paper clip). Each student was given dollar amount per chocolate chip reclaimed. Big decisions were made to decide if their location was economically viable to be mined or not.
