Good evening. We just wanted to let our families know that the GN School will be open tomorrow (Friday, April 23). We will postpone our school spirit-Nerd Day for another time. It’s been a tough day for the community and understand if some students will be home. Our love and condolences go out to all during this difficult time. Gilakas’la.
Due to a loss in the community all offices and the GN School will be shut down. We send our deepest condolences to family.
We will be calling parents/caregivers to come pick up your child(ren). We will be looking to run the school bus close to 12:00.
Call the school at 250-949-7743 if you need any further information. Thanks.
We would like to present 5 videos from our 2021 Bak̕wa̱mk̓ala Stop Motion Project. We worked together to learn animation skills, and create stories in bak̕wa̱mk̓ala to share with the world. A special thank you to Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw Elders for teaching us.
Our fifth video is about the weather. Please enjoy and share with your friends and family.
