A message from Alena Piper (Child, Youth and Family Support Worker, Mountain View Elementary):
Hello!
I am looking for a family who is willing to share their baby with a class at Mountain View starting in October. Baby needs to be between 2-4months old (as of October 2026). The commitment is one visit every 3 weeks for approx. 30-45 mins from October to May. The family can be anyone so please encourage our parent community to share this opportunity with anyone they may know!
This program is world renowned and is such an amazing opportunity to support our youth in learning about empathy, kindness, and mental health. Having a tiny teacher in a classroom is such an amazing way of connecting with students.
I have attached the parent brochure with all the info for the Rootโs of Empathy program. Anyone who is interested can contact me directly at 250-616-8740 or email [email protected]
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you/Merci/Huychqโu

๐ป THANK YOU! ๐ป
โWe want to send a quick thank you to the wonderful family behind Isle of Rose Candle Co., who donated all of their sales to our Spring Fair! We are so grateful! ๐
โWe would also like to give a big shout-out to the Leadership Club that also donated all of their plant sales to the Spring Fair, as well as the wonderful people who dropped off their beautiful, handcrafted items for the Farmers Market table. Every one of these donations was greatly appreciated and made a huge difference! ๐๏ธโจ
โ๐ MARK YOUR CALENDARS! ๐
Please save the date for Friday, October 2nd for our upcoming Fall Fair! ๐ We will be hosting another Farmers Market table then, so if anyone would like to join in on the donations this time around, we would love to have you!
โThank you all for making our community so special! ๐ฅฐ

Thank you for so generously supporting the last FIFA ticket raffle!
The PAC has 4 additional tickets awaiting release from Stub Hub. Due to the short run up time, and the late transfer necessity, we have decided to sell the tickets for significantly less than we paid-- $1000 for 4 seats together Thursday June 18th, 3PM Game!
At $250 per ticket, our hope is that someone will be able to take advantage and keep us breaking even on our overall FIFA purchases-- a Win/Win for the community!
How to be eligible: no entry fee! Just send a declaration of intent to purchase to [email protected] by THIS SATURDAY at NOON.
Anyone who emails will be entered in a draw and if your name is selected, the tickets are yours for $1000.
Questions? Leave them here or send us an email!
Tell anyone you think may be interested (or don't if you want your odds to be better :) ).
Thank you so much again for your constant support!
