Literacy Week at Alpha is back. To promote a love of reading and learning we will have fun activities running each day, at lunch and after school.
Daily Activites: Worksheets with daily tasks can be picked up in the library or can be printed from the library blog. Completed worksheets need to be returned to the library by 3:15pm that day for a prize!
WEDNESDAY will be the exception. It’s Dress Like a Book Character Day. Come dressed as a character from any book, comic or manga and show your costume to Ms. Haigh that day for a prize.
Lunch time: Bring some friends and come by the library at lunch to play some games and to hear some local guest speakers. There will be prizes!
After school: To test whether or not the movie version of books are better or worse, come to the library after school every day but Wednesday this week to catch a movie. All films were books first. Movies will start promptly at 3:15pm.
If you have any questions or would like more details, please see Ms.Haigh in the library.

February Is Black History Month

“February is Black History Month and it gives British Columbians an opportunity to honour, celebrate and reflect on the stories, experiences and accomplishments of Black Canadians.  This year, Canada marks the 28th official Black History Month, and this year’s theme is “Ours to Tell.”  Sharing the many stories of success, sacrifice, resilience, triumph and community will hopefully help inspire our students and communities to work together to build a more equitable society that is inclusive and leaves no one behind.” 

– Beth Applewhite, District Principal, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

To help staff and students better recognize and celebrate Black History Month in Canada, our wonderful Alpha CARES team has generated a handout with excellent links and information.

CTV also has a great article that highlights Priceville, which was a thriving Black community in Ontario. In the article, there is a great audio clip on writer Tanya Hayles, who discusses why it’s important for Canadians to celebrate Black Excellence throughout the year.
