Creativity & Children A great mix That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in New Westminster.

The New Westminster Record, local businesses and organizations, and the New Westminster school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section.

Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages.

The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the New Westminster Record and another Design an Ad section is complete.

The ads are also on display at Royal City Centre from March 30th.

I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success!

Good things are happening at New Westminster Schools!

At New Westminster Schools, we’re proud of the exciting things happening across the district. We started 2018 with a brand new vision of New Westminster Schools as a “place where students love to learn” - and the evidence is everywhere that we are well on our way!

Our students are engaged and it shows. Kindergarten and elementary school kids across the district, for instance, are now gaining hands-on learning experience in maker spaces that give them a chance to take up hammers and drills to make birdhouses, xylophones, benches and more.

That means they are gaining not only practical skills, but problem solving and design thinking skills too. And they’re doing it with the help, guidance and mentorship of visiting high school students. It’s a cross-district, crossgrade and cross-curricular approach to learning that speaks volumes about the ability of our district to work together in new and inspired ways.

A hands-on approach to learning is key at the middle and high school levels too. Our embrace of technology supports inclusion for all of our students. Robotics, laptops, 3D printers, and digital media arts give students innovative and creative ways to demonstrate learning in any number of academic subjects – and that’s a good thing!

Our journey toward Reconciliation continues as we learn to “...Our wonderful understand our history with diversity is a Aboriginal peoples, to change our relationship for the better, and to constant source ensure the success of our Aborigof pride” inal students. From Pow Wow dancing to salmon feasts, and from smudges to traditional rites of passage, students are experiencing the living cultures of First Peoples and embracing Aboriginal principles of learning in all subject areas. It’s a journey of many steps, but we have begun…

Our educators’ embrace of innovation reveals a deep dedication and commitment to making learning relevant and engaging for all of our students. Their teamwork in exploring new approaches - in technology, in social and emotional learning, in student empowerment and more is truly inspiring.

We are also making huge strides in our capital projects program, with construction now underway on our new high school, and the fantastic news this month of seismic upgrades for École Lord Tweedsmuir and a new school for Richard McBride.

At New Westminster Schools, good things really are happening!

Our wonderful diversity is a constant source of pride, and never more so than during last week’s Multicul-

tural Week at Lord Kelvin elementary school - where no less than half of the school’s students come from countries other than Canada. During the Parade of Cultures, children from Eritrea to Syria and from Holland to China, wore their traditional costumes in an expression of joy that was palpable. What an inspiration!
