Our first North Van Museum and Archive session

Dear parents,

We had an informative visit from a staff member from the North Van Museum and Archives this afternoon. We learned how to look for clues in old photographs to assist with dating. We learned about the Nye family; a pioneer family who lived in Lynn Valley at the turn of the century. I look forward to two more sessions. 

Just a reminder to return the consent form and $10 for our
Burnaby Village Heritage Museum field trip next Tuesday, February 25th. We still need a few more volunteer parent drivers. Please remember to request your RCMP driver's profile and have it faxed to our school office at 604-903-3731.

In closing, I'd like to let you all know about a great community concert to be presented by the Ambleside Orchestra at St. David's United Church (at the intersection of Hwy. 1 and Taylor Way), on Friday, February 21 at 7:30 PM. Admission is by donation. I know that I've talked with some of you about the importance of music in your children's lives. This would be a wonderful enrichment activity for your whole family. Hope to see you there. 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr
