Bannock Baking with the Grade 7/8 class

What a wonderful learning experience the Grade 7/8's had when they baked bannock together. The recipe came from Fort Edmonton Heritage Park and we discussed how a traditional recipe would have different ingredients that are available today. The students worked collaboratively to make the bannock dough and prep it for baking. They had a choice between whole wheat and white flour. The consensus was that whole wheat would likely be more authentic but the white flour tasted better.
This is a wonderful group of students!

Cookies For All

The Spruce View & District Lions Club came to the school with boxes of cookies, each cookie individually wrapped from the local bakery.  The cookies were for all students and staff to celebrate the school year.  What a treat that was for all of us.  It was great to celebrate a hard year of in-person and online learning for many in the school.  We appreciate how our local Lions Club supports the school in so many ways throughout the year.

Discovering the Metis

We thank the Red Deer Museum for such a fabulous and informative display for the Kindergarten to Grade Nine classes.  We saw a wonderful beaded with porcupine quills child vest from the Glenbow Museum who lent the fragile vest to the Red Deer Museum.  Did you know that the Metis have two flags that were first used in 1815.  They are older than the Canadian flag by 150 years.
