Today the school and daycare will be closed for Naomi Anderson's funeral service.
We want to take a moment to honour and thank Naomi for the lasting impact she had on our school and community.
Naomi was a long-time part of the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw School family and held many roles over the years. No matter the role, she gave her whole heart. She cared deeply for our children, had a special gift for connecting with them — especially our youngest and those who needed extra support — and made everyone around her feel valued.
Naomi’s creativity could be seen throughout our school, from beautiful bulletin boards and stage decorations to the regalia created for our Grade 7 graduates. She also had a thoughtful way of sharing her talents through handmade gifts, small acts of kindness that meant so much to staff and will not be forgotten.
We are grateful for the time Naomi shared with us and for everything she gave to our students, staff, and families. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, creativity, and connection that will continue to live on in our school.
On behalf of the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw School, we extend our deepest condolences to Naomi’s family and loved ones. Thank you for sharing her with us. 💙

Naomi had such a beautiful spirit! 🩵
She was nice, always liked her.
Thinking of you all today and in the coming days. Losing someone is never easy, especially when it’s a beautiful lady inside and out. Sorry for your loss. ❤️🩹
It has been a difficult time for our community, and our thoughts are with all families during this period.
Please note that the school and daycare will be closed on Wednesday to allow staff and families the opportunity to attend a community funeral.
As details emerge regarding any additional closures, we will continue to provide updates as information becomes available.
Regular programming will resume on Thursday.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
G̱ilakas’la 💛
