Good Luck to our Grade 5’s as you move on to middle school! You will do well!

Thank you very much to the team of parent volunteers who prepared and served the potatoes and lettuce that were harvested from the school garden for more than 200 students to enjoy. As well, thank you to the Auguston Traditional PAC for their support of this event by funding some of the tubs of potatoes, the lettuce transplants and the luncheon supplies. Additional thanks to the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Spuds in Tubs program who also funded a few of the tubs.

Thank you, Mr. Lande, and Volunteers for making it a great Sports Day! Our first Sports Day since 2019!!!

Way to show your support for Run for Water, Auguston. Good work!

Criminal Record Checks

All Noon Hour Supervisors & Volunteers at Auguston MUST have a Criminal Record Check. If you are interested to apply to be a Noon Hour Supervisor or to Volunteer (in the classroom, on field trips, etc.), please see the process below for completing a Criminal Record Check.

Note that the Volunteer forms are completed annually every school year and those will be available in September. The Criminal Record Check lasts for 5 years so you could start the process now for September if interested.

Reminder: ALL Grade 5 students will receive a yearbook (extra yearbooks have been ordered for Grade 5 students).

One of the lasting legacies of the COVID-19 pandemic will be its exposure of pre-existing societal inequities to a wider audience. While inequities have existed in society and schools since they were created, the pandemic has caused many of us to see them with greater clarity. The murder of George Floyd perhaps served as a catalyzing moment, but I suspect there were more forces at play.

Our school garden has some new plants! The raised garden box closest to the parking lot now has a salmonberry bush, a red huckleberry bush and some salal. Special thanks to our Indigenous Support Worker, Elder Tina Lakey, and Indigenous Support Worker Assistant, Mrs. Joyce Brozozog, for assisting students with planting them. 

Congratulations to Emmett in Div. 1 & Delaney in Div. 3 for being the fastest kids in our school for Cross Country!
