As we start up in 2022, we are challenged by the Omicron variant and asked to prepare for the impact it will have on our school in the coming weeks and months.

This year the Meadowridge Library is starting a Winter Break Reading Challenge. We have designed two challenges: A Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3 challenge and a Grade 4 to Grade 12 challenge.

The winter season is off at to an amazing start with many exciting competitions. Highlights of the first nine games can be viewed here.

The Meadowridge Post-Secondary Counsellors will be hosting three university information sessions in the new year. These sessions are aimed at Grade 10 and 11 students and their families as they plan their applications for university. Students and parents from other grades are also welcome to attend.

Meadowridge’s Lunar New Year celebration is a longstanding tradition. This year, with no exception, we will be celebrating the Year of Tiger on Friday, January 28, 2022! We will facilitate in-class cultural activities for our Elementary School Students, fun Kahoot Game for Grade 4 to Grade 12 Students, and please stay tuned for the wonderful student performances at the Full-School Assembly.

With darker mornings and evenings, and with the relentless rain, we have been experiencing more issues and problems in our parking lot and neighbouring streets. We have heard from our neighbours, who are reporting drivers speeding down the side streets, and from our own school community about inconsiderate drivers, honking cars, and verbal confrontations right here in our parking lot.

Attention basketball families. Please take note of the following changes to the rules and restrictions for the ongoing season

As many of you are aware, the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) and International Baccalaureate (IBO) organizations both sent teams virtually to evaluate our school and validate our written self-studies. The teams consisted of 16 experienced educators, former Heads of School, and leaders from around the world and across Canada.

A huge thank you to everyone for getting the word out and donating supplies for those impacted by flooding in Princeton, Lilloet, Boston Bar and surrounding areas. In less than a week, six full vehicle loads were donated from our school to the Phazes Salon flood supply drive.
