This year, as part of
the SEVEC (Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada) program, Bonar Law Memorial School has been
paired with a school in Breton, Alberta. The students from Breton will be
visiting us for the first week of December, and we will fly to Breton in April
or May for week! This is a program
subsidized by the federal government so the cost of travel
is covered by them. When we are travelling, we will be doing a home-stay with our Albertan-twin, and they will stay with us when they
are here, which means costs of food and lodging will be minimal. There is
October is Farm to School Month and in our efforts to promote healthy eating and buy local we are going to offer some recipes, tips, budgeting, cooking etc...on our webpage. Stay tuned for upcoming recipes that incorporate fresh produce or fruit grown locally. We will offer some budgeting tips to help you stretch your dollar and some of our students are going to visit the local farms to see firsthand what is produced right here in our area.
