Hello, Southlands Families.
Last week was a very eventful week. On Friday we sent home a Southlands School Newsletter with lots of pictures of the events and things going on around the school. I will be away March 3 - 10 visiting my (grown up) children in Montreal. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher and/or Mr. Jung who is the teacher-in-charge. Ms. Teresa can always help you connect you to the correct person. All the best for the week ahead.
Sincerely,
Margaret Paxton (she/her)
Principal

On February 27 a special ceremony at Southlands Elementary unveiled a traditional Musqueam House Post carved by Musqueam artist and Southlands alumni, Brent Sparrow. The ceremony was led by Alec Dan who explained to us the protocol of the ceremony, invited chosen witnesses, introduced ceremonial songs and dance, and told us about the images carved by Brent Sparrow on the House Post.
We learned that Musqueam's House Posts are like an address in modern times. It represents who resides and belongs there. Perhaps most people are familiar with the term Totem pole, however they are created and represent Northern tribes, whereas Houseposts are created by Musqueam and Coast Salish families. The witnesses Wade Grant, Gordon Grant and Johnny Louis shared with us their reflections about the event, their time as Southlands students, and important messages about the significance of the House Post and it's deep importance to past, current and future Musqueam students at Southlands. Please enjoy these videos.

Southlands Elementary School takes pride in having built a strong spirit of Giving that is powered by the generous contributions of your time and financial support to help enrich our children’s learning.
