Dear Buchanan Families

It was a wonderful week at Buchanan School. In our classrooms you can see that learning is in full swing!  

On Thursday, students in grades 4, 5 and 6 had a special presentation from Telus Spark. The program, Paws, Claws and Stars guided students to explore the connection between Indigenous ways of knowing and western science. As part of this program, students spent time in a portable planetarium and explored the night sky. It was such an amazing experience.  

Thank you, School Council, for organizing our first Fun Snack of the year. The students enjoyed their chips today!
