Your creativity is a gift to all of us.
โญ Lilac Sale!
Lucas, Clara and Caila recently held a lilac sale over Motherโs Day weekend. The siblings worked together to decorate and fill jars with lilacs from their property to sell to the community. Many of their customers had stories to share about who would receive the beautiful lilac bouquets and ranged in ages from 4-102 years old!

๐ June Planning Day ๐ป
Well, good thing we are online teachers! When a ferry cancellation derailed our original plan to meet in person at the Oceanview Learning Centre, we quickly moved to a hybrid meeting for groups in the Comox Valley and the qathet Region. Thanks to all for the tech trouble-shooting to make it happen!
