Cross-Country Running 2022-2023

On October 14th, 2022 we had the annual Elementary Cross-Country Running meet at Lakeside Park.  We had around 300 students participating, 10 schools, staff, and parents out to support the day.  A ton of fun, great races, and really well run.  A thank you to Les Chirico, who help to coordinate and host the event.  Shout out to all the parents and staff who supported on the course.  Tony Musa, a legend in Elementary extra-curricular sport, was recognized for his unwavering support and advocacy for elementary athletics.

Ktunaxa Artist Mentors Hume School Youth in Mural Project

Since 2018, the Nelson & District Arts Council has partnered with the Nelson Youth Action Network to facilitate an annual youth mural project. Youth artists receive mentorship from a professional artist and work collaboratively to create a large-scale piece. This year, NDAC was delighted to be working with the Youth Arts Action Committee (YAAC) and students from Hume Elementary School in School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) to create a youth mural at Hume School led by self-taught Ɂakisq̓nuk artist, PJ Gilhuly.

CELEBRATION: For the 2022-2023 school year the staff and students of Hume Elementary raised a total of $706.65 as a contribution to the Terry Fox Foundation and their long-standing work in funding cancer research.

Thanks everyone for your support.

When James Beaudoin goes to work each morning in Nelson to pick up his school bus, he knows that he is directly supporting a child’s education, social and physical well being.

“Being a bus driver is an important job, and the feeling of being needed and helping my community is very fulfilling. In some cases, we are the first smile that a child will see at the start of their day. Without our support, many kids would have a lot of roadblocks in the way to get to school.”

On March 10, the Province of B.C. announced several changes to existing public health orders (PHO) that affect the Provincial COVID-19 Communicable disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings. These changes come into effect the first day of Spring Break – March 14, 2022.

At a meeting on March 3, the SD8 Board of Education directed Superintendent Trish Smillie to extend the implementation date of the district’s Proof of Vaccination Regarding COVID-19 Administrative Procedure from March 11 to April 11, 2022. This one-month extension will allow the Board time to consider evolving COVID-19 data and changes to public health directives.

The purpose of the Proof of Vaccination Procedure is to safeguard the health and safety of employees and students from COVID-19.
