During Women’s History Month, grade 4/5 students studied the work of Indigenous artist Jackie Traverse. They noticed that her art is often inspired by strong women. Students recreated some of Jackie’s pieces using colored pencil, ink and water color paint. @beg_RETSD

As we prepare for the Winter Solstice next week, the grade 4/5 Ss have been reflecting on what we can learn from the bear. Take the winter months to reflect, slow down, recharge. Take care of oneself and the community. Welcome these months as opportunity for renewal. @beg_RETSD
