 GROUSE HUNTING -
​September --- Mr. Mitchell's 4/5 class had a great day of learning out on the land with staff and conservation officers. 
While they came up empty handed for Grouse, they did manage to find what appears to be a very old artifact.  The proper department's have been contacted to try and uncover the mystery​ of where this artifact may have originated!  

Picture
September 2025 - Mr. Cheng's Grade 7 class were successful in harvesting 2 Grouse! Students worked together, demonstrated incredible respect for the land and animals and had a great time.
A big thank you to Mr. Horton for his dedication and planning of this trip as well as all the staff that spent time organizing such a cool event for the students!
