Library News
​Thirty-five of our Grade 4/5 students have chosen to participate in the Reading Link Challenge Book Club, a program offered by the Pemberton Public Library with the support of the Signal Hill Elementary School library.  The Reading Link Challenge requires students to read as many as possible of six novels from November until the end of March and then they participate in a series of Jeopardy style games in April.  The students are placed into teams where they answer a variety of questions about the books that they have read.  The winning team in the first challenge, which is held at Signal Hill Elementary in the library, will participate in the final challenge against La Vallée, Pemberton’s francophone school, at the public library. For this year’s titles please see the RLC website at:

The Grade 6/7 Red Cedar Book Club will be kicking off soon – stay tuned for more information!

​Our Scholastic Book Fair was an amazing success! Thank you to all families, teachers, and students who participated and supported our school! Your investment in your reader helped our school to earn $1925 in new books for our school library and $1250 for author visits and library events! The time put in by the fantastic student, staff, and parent volunteers is greatly appreciated, we couldn't have done it without all of your support. Books that were ordered have been delivered to students' classrooms.

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!
