Library News
May is Poetry month in the Signal Hill Library! We will be having a poetry contest for students to submit a poem about Spring or about an activity enjoyed during Springtime. Entries are due by May 31st.
Several classes recently enjoyed visits from some awesome childrens' authors! Sara Leach presented to the Grade 2/3/4s and Caroline Adderson shared her book, "Pudding Tat" with the Grade 4/5s. K.L.Denman and Diane Tullson will present the craft of writing to the Grade 6/7s later this month and Wendy Winter will share her two picture books with the K/1s! Red Cedar students are finishing up reading their books and will soon be placing their votes for their favourite Canadian fiction and non-fiction nominees! We will be celebrating the end of the book club with a party! Grade 4 and 5 students who participated in the Reading Link Challenge did a great job of reading as many of the 6 titles as possible and had fun at our jeopardy style challenge between small teams on April 14th in the Signal Hill Library. The winning team competed against the winning team from La Vallée at the public library on April 19th and celebrated with a pizza lunch! Our primary classes have just finished reading and voting on the Chocolate Lily Award picture book nominees. The Chocolate Lily Book Awards celebrates the talent of BC's children's authors and illustrators. "Peter and the Tree Children" by Peter Wohlleben got the most votes and we are looking forward to finding out who the winner will be! |

Electronic Resources
The Sea to Sky School District has purchased several amazing resources for our students to use when doing research both at school and at home. Our students can now access several Electronic Resources. If you are accessing from the school, no password is required. If you need our password to access the databases from home, see Ms. Benes.
Pemberton Public Library
Reminder to all of the amazing resource that is our Pemberton Public Library! We encourage all students and families to check out their terrific selection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines and Tumblebooks! For most of these, but not all, you need a library card which requires a parent/guardian to email or call the library to get a card number. Ms. Benes strongly encourages all Signal Hill students to have their own card at the Pemberton Public Library!
