The library at Quilchena Elementary is a safe place for students and their families to explore ideas and to develop as citizens of our learning community.

Div 19 studied local landforms by reading The Two Sisters by Pauline Johnson. They analyzed the story’s structure and wrote summaries, then made a print of the peaks. Take a look at the beautiful colours and details! @QuilchenaSchool @vsblearns @VSB39Indigenous

We recognize how important it is that families are heard in the process of making decisions for this unique school year. Based on survey results, #VSB39 will develop a learn from home transition option & will share it with families next week: vsb.bc.ca/News/_layouts/15/c…

"Books where ‘race is a factor’ are almost all inevitably about people of color. To cite the race of characters in those books and no others posits whiteness as ‘normal,’ with every other race seen as a deviation." Must-read on mentioning race in professional book reviews. 🔥
