On Friday, December 15th we will be hosting a Career Day for all students. At this point, we are looking for some volunteers who would be willing to come in and chat about what they do for work. We are hosting from 8:47am - 11:14am, in three 45 minute sessions, with class-sized groups of students.  Volunteers would need to be available to come in person, or connect virtually for the duration of the time. If you are interested and available to spend some time with the students, please complete the following Google Form Expression of Interest. 

 

Métis Week

École David Thompson School will mark Métis week upon our return to school from fall break! Students will hear Michif language as a part of announcements, learn about the Métis flag, and explore teachings from Rupertsland Institute. All students and staff are invited to Rock your Mocs on November 16th, Louis Riel Day, by wearing moccasins if you’ve got ‘em!
