Ministry of Education & Child Care News Release
“Many families in B.C. are feeling the effects of global inflation on daily costs, including groceries, school supplies and other school expenses,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education and Child Care. “We’re taking action by providing more funding that school districts will use to help meet the needs of families and students.”
The one-time funding will be provided directly to school districts to help them expand school meal programs, make sure students have the school supplies they need and cover any additional fees so that students in need can take part in activities, such as field trips.
Districts will work with with parent advisory councils and school communities, as well as local First Nations and other Indigenous organizations, regarding local priorities that will best meet the needs of diverse student populations.

“Take 3”
Bert Ambrose Elementary
Under the direction of our talented, creative and energetic Fine Arts teacher, Ms. Cassandra Mervyn, Bert Ambrose hosted its first annual school-wide Art Show on Friday, June 10th, 2022.
Every student completed a poster with 5 art pieces related to work done in the Art room (self portrait, Van Gogh, Ted Harrison, Andy Warhol & Barbra Reid).
When classrooms came to view the art, they were asked to write a fan letter for another artist in the school. Intermediate students helped their primary buddies so every student was able to complete the task; allowing each artist to receive a letter of appreciation for some aspect of their art.
The Art Show was opened up to families in the evening with an opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt that allowed them to view all of the artwork. It was great watching families look through all of the art to finish their clues. Our amazing PAC sponsored prizes which made it extra fun!
