On Thursday, April 20th Mrs. Mushumanski’s grade 3/4 class at Hume Elementary held their annual science fair. It is always amazing to see the culmination of weeks of hard work and to see the students so proud of their accomplishments.
Preparations for Hume Elementary’s centennial celebration on June 1 are well underway. Staff and students at Hume are working with the Nelson Museum, Archives and Gallery on historical presentations and an archival display including tales of teaching, learning and extraordinary events at the school over the past 100 years.
Above the front entrance to Hume Elementary School the year “1923” is emblazoned in concrete along with the school’s name. This year marks the hundredth anniversary since the building was first opened and students filed into classrooms to learn to read, write, and do arithmetic at their wooden desks.
