​Congratulations to this year's Kikomun running team who took first place for schools in the run.  We are very proud of their effort, sportsmanship and commitment to running!

After reading 'Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes'  Ms. Leeden and Ms. Conlin's  Gr. 5 Community and Empathy Class chose to create an art project to connect community and healing. The students donated the piece of art to the Elk Valley Hospital. The hospital has hung the artwork in the tele-conference room, where some clients hear difficult news.  The students hope that the clients will see the art and it will bring them some hope knowing that the students care. 

Miss Scheller's and Ms. Barras'  Grade 4/5 students have written a series of essays on Fernie history, based on a couple of visits to the Museum this winter and additional research in class. They then published their essays in booklet format, sold 40 copies of the book, and donated the proceeds to the Museum and the  EmilyBrydonYouthFoundation . The class proudly delivered a copy of the book  and a $100 cheque to the Museum.

​Congratulations to our Robotics team that placed 7th (out of 44 teams!) and won the Project Innovation Award at the First Lego League Robotics competition in Calgary.
