LITERACY WEEK AT WESTRIDGE!

Our theme this year – READING IS OUR THING – was brought to life this week with many fun events in our school community!

École Westridge welcomed guest readers, played Dr. Seuss Trivia and dressed up in creative Dr. Seuss character costumes! We hosted a Literacy Assembly featuring a teacher performance of Green Eggs and Ham, students presenting their writing and teachers sharing their favourite childhood books. Many thanks to Tracy Healy (Burnaby District Indigenous Literacy Teacher) and Jen Mezei (Board of Education, Trustee Vice-Chair) for participating and sponsoring literacy in our school community! Also, thank you to all of the teachers and staff at École Westridge for making this week a huge success!
