As we wind down toward the winter break, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some highlights that have stood out this year.
Once again, through the work of support staff, teachers, admin, parents and community volunteers, the elementary sports season (soccer, x-country, volleyball) has been outstanding. Similarly, our high school teams are enjoying another strong season, having sent 5 teams to the provincial championships this year.
The Arts also continue to be vibrant with large numbers of students engaged in diverse artistic endeavours. Drama and theatre programs have continued to entertain our communities and this year's Carolfest was another spectacular community showcase of tremendous quality. This past week, Smithers Secondary held their annual Christmas Concert for their Junior and Senior Bands (including the District 6/7 Band). A remarkable night before a packed house. Beyond the talent on display, what captivates me most is the level of engagement and enjoyment of all participants. The students and adults that make these programs possible put in immense hours of work getting ready for the performance, and are enjoying every moment of the learning process together. It is a pleasure to watch that interaction.
Enjoy the holidays:)
