November is here and the pandemic still has a tight grip on all our lives. But we're here for the long haul and we'll get through this together.

Each month will have a different theme and we’ll share our insights as well as some resources for you to dive deeper into the topic.
Our 2020 graduation celebration will look different than usual, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will have our ceremony on Tuesday, June 23rd starting at 10 am at the Kengard Learning Centre (2475 Merritt Avenue, Merritt BC) with a few important adjustments to ensure everyone's health and safety:
