Seaside Elementary

We had so much fun at the “Learn to Camp” workshop from @ParksCanada_NS! We learned how to put up a tent, different rules to abide by when camping and how to tie knots. 🏕️

We are having so much fun at our Seaside Fête Française today! Thank you to Gourmandises Avenue, Believe Imaging, our Core French teacher Mme Jollimore, other staff, and some EPEC students as well!

Gail Teixeira, a HRA Fine Arts Specialist with an African Nova Scotia emphasis, is here at Seaside spending the week with us facilitating workshops in music classes. Learning, performing, storytelling, technology, and songwriting! @HRCEFineArts

Today is #NSBlackExcellenceDay! Celebrating Black Excellence in schools provides an opportunity for every student, teacher, and administrator to acknowledge and recognize the past and present achievements, stories, art, innovations of people of African descent.

Did you know? Regardless of age or socio-economic status, Indigenous women & girls are at least 3x more likely to experience violence & at least 6x more likely to be murdered than any other woman or girl in Canada. On May 5, we wear red to honour those we've lost.

Elder Rita (Bernard) Joe, member of the We’koqma’q Mi’kmaq Community & published author, was instrumental in paving the way for other Mi’kmaq authors. Her greatest wish was to see more writings would come from her people & “that the children would read it” ow.ly/OVyO50MUEaF

The Daily Drum Today’s Drum is from my Whale Series. It is said that the Whale sings the history of Mother Earth. It’s characteristics are similar to the wolf, for they are the whale’s immediate earthly family. Have a Great Week-end!
