Abbotsford School District offers Summer Explorers Program
This summer Abbotsford School District again offered a K-8 Summer Enhancement Program called Summer Explorers which ran July 4-21 in 5 school stires around Abbotsford. This program is open to any interested students in Abbotsford and parents can register their children online on the school district website in May. This program aims to provide engaging opportunities for students to practice important literacy and numeracy skills while taking part in activities focused on exploration and inquiry about topics they are interested in. Indigenous perspectives and relevant cultural content is infused into the program's approach to learning. Summer Explorers provides opportunities for students to extend the structure and learning of school while making new friends and spending time outdoors. This program culminates in a celebration of learning for each class that parents are invited to take part in.
On Thursday, July 21, the Summer Explorer students at Dave Kandal Elementary hosted their celebration of learning for families to attend. Special guests included Dave Sidhu, Abbotsford City Council, and Sanyia Kaushal, a local poet with two published books. Miss. Bliss and Mrs. Kooner's Early Explorers class showcased their summer learning and growth through song, dance, and culturally relevant content.
