🌲 Grade 7 Camp at Lake Sasamat
This past week, our Grade 7 students embarked on their much-anticipated annual camp at Lake Sasamat—and what a memorable experience it was! The trip was a shining example of the DLG spirit. Our Grade 7s have consistently demonstrated inclusiveness, kindness, and responsibility throughout the year, and these qualities truly shone during camp. The positive energy they brought created a welcoming and joyful atmosphere for everyone.
A heartfelt thank you to Andrea and Sam for their incredible organization, and to all the dedicated volunteers who supported this event throughout the year. Also thank you to Ms. Mittermaier and our UBC student teachers Aman, Anya, and Julie who accompanied the grade 7 on their trip. Your efforts made this experience possible!
🏫 Class Casting for 2025–2026
This week, our teaching staff will begin the thoughtful process of forming classes for the upcoming school year. Please note that due to various factors—such as enrollment numbers and class configurations—we do not finalize or publish class lists until the second week of September.
If you would like to share insights about your child’s learning style or peers who positively influence their learning, feel free to email the principal. While we welcome this input, please refrain from requesting specific teachers or naming peers to avoid—we focus on building positive, inclusive learning environments for all.
