True confession: I enjoy physical activity. I start most days with vigorous exercise. I wake up at 5:00 am Monday to Friday so I can be unrushed in my morning ritual, which includes fresh espresso, a scroll through various social media feeds, CBC radio, and yes, a fitness workout.  

Students were invited to participate in Valentine's No Uni Day by wearing red, white, pink or purple on Thursday, Feb. 13! 

Thank you Mrs. Howe (Auguston Parent & Div. 1 Gr. 5 Teacher) for the pics!
 

Celebrating 100 Days of School!

Ready or not, 2025 is here! While I am not one for resolutions, I like setting personal and professional goals. A new year brings with it a sense of hope and opportunity. No matter what happened the previous year, a new year feels like another chance to step closer to a dream, an aspiration, or even start something entirely new.

One of the things I love most about this time of year is seeing the many ways we celebrate the season.  Visit any one of our schools and you’ll see snowflakes and Christmas trees and happy faces all around. If you are lucky, you might even catch sight of Santa and his elves. And it’s not just in schools and classrooms. The Abbotsford School Board Office is a veritable winter wonderland thanks to the goodwill and creative energy of our folks here. 

We are celebrating Christmas & Winter break with Festive Fridays! Auguston students were invited to wear Red & Green instead of their school uniform on Dec. 6.
