As we approach spring break starting March 17, the pace of learning in our schools seems to accelerate. Children are working hard to improve their reading, writing, number and math skills, science knowledge, while participating in elementary and high school sports, performing in theatre productions; pursuing the media arts, trades and developing their kindness and empathy toward others.

We’re a month into 2025, and it’s so exciting to see snow! In schools right now, schools are offering ski trips and other opportunities for outdoor activities with great support from our bus drivers and other transportation staff who make sure children and youth get where they are going and back again safely during and after school hours. 

On January 21st, Rosemont School hosted our second annual Winter Feast - a night to bring together Rosemont Indigenous families for shared food, games and connection time. Baylie Corner, Rosemont's Indigenous Education teacher worked with the students during the school day to prepare the food for the evening feast.

Good morning Rosemont families,

Happy Sunday to you all. I hope your children are easing back into the routines and structure of schools days once again.

A few reminders:

Happy New Year to all our students, families and education partners in SD8 and welcome to the second half of the school year. I wish you a wonderful beginning to 2025.

As we leave November behind us and move into December toward the winter break and the half-way point in the school year, it's a great time to reflect on the past three months and how school communities and SD8 as a whole are supporting each child in their learning journey.

It's my pleasure to share this month's happenings across our school communities. Throughout the early fall months, students have engaged in a wide variety of learning activities and events from marking Métis Awareness Month by putting up a teepee and examining what learnings come from that process, to incredible Halloween costumes and spirit that delighted staff, students and families.

Good morning Rosemont families,
