This was a school year unlike any other… but that didn’t stop our Gilpin Gators!
The video below recognizes students who completed 150 nights of home reading. These students have a love of books and a passion for reading that is truly inspiring. Each of them will have their name placed in one of our library books next fall. Until then, congratulations and thanks for being such amazing readers!
The Words Anthology is an annual tradition that celebrates the writing of Burnaby students. This year’s edition, Waves of Words, is especially exciting because it features writing from three of our own Gilpin Gators: Matteo, Lisa, and Lilian. Congratulations to all three of you!
You can find all of these entries, and more, in the Waves of Words Anthology!
